Pilot study on the dynamic interactions between cardiac activity and corneal biomechanics during eye movements.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

The study examines the relationship between ocular rotations and cardiovascular functions through detailed biomechanical analysis. The study documents specific patterns of ocular movements and their synchronization with cardiovascular activity, highlighting significant correlations. These findings provide a basis for understanding the opto-biomechanical interplay between ocular and cardiovascular dynamics.

Methods

Authors employed a custom-designed prototype, integrating a camera and numerical pulse oximeter, to analyze the right eyeballs of participants. The corneal surface reflections were recorded, along with concurrent blood pulsation (BP) signal acquisition. Numerical analysis helped determine the reflection positions and orientations to study e
