The Impact of Dry Eye Disease on Corneal Biomechanics Analyzed with Corneal Visualization Scheimpflug Technology.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Dry eye disease (DED) is an ocular surface disease with unstable tear film hemeostasis that could influence the corneal biomechanics. The study aimed to elucidate the impact of dry eye severity on corneal biomechanics. Methods: This is a prospective cohort study that enrolled 72 participants with or without dry eye severity. All subjects received dry eye and corneal biomechanic assessment. Dry eye patients were divided into non-DED (>6 s) and DED (<6 s) groups based on the average non-invasive keratograph tear break-up time to compare their performance in corneal biomechanics. We further analyzed the correlation between the corneal biomechanic parameters and dry eye indexes for these patients. Results: In this study, 38 non-DED patients and 34 DE
