Resumen

JONES ROMERO, Orlys et al. Corneal biomechanical properties and glaucoma. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2017, vol.30, n.3, pp. 1-11. ISSN 1561-3070.

The purpose of this work is to know the more novel advances related with the study of the biomechanic characteristic of the cornea and its possible relationship in the diagnosis of the glaucoma. A search was made in Infomed platform, particularly in the Virtual Library of Health, to find out the most advanced in the study of the corneal biomechanical properties and its possible relation with the diagnose of glaucoma. Corneal biomechanical is the power of the resistance and flexion simultaneity of collagen molecules of the different corneal layer. It is the balance and deformity of the corneal tissue submitted to an external action. Corneal hysteresis and corneal resistance factor are two corneal biomechanical properties measured by the Ocular Response Analyzer. The existence of a low value of these two properties may be considered as progression factors in glaucoma.

Palabras clave : corneal biomechanical properties; corneal hysteresis; glaucoma; central corneal thickness.
