THE CORNEAL TISSUE STRAIN IN NORM, IN CASE OF LAMELLAR KERATOPLASTY AND MYOPIA ^{[№ 4 ' 2013]}
The parameters of the corneal hysteresis and corneal tissue strain were registered using the complex of biomechanical and morphometric methods, with the intraocular pressure being measured and keratopachymetry conducted in three groups (the control group included 23 eyes and the first basic one 8 eyes and the second basic one 15 eyes). The research showed that the corneal tissue strain (CTS) index was significantly higher in the first basic group. The authors colligate the present fact with the revealed tendency for some cornea thickening after the lamellar keratoplasty by Alloplant biomaterial. There have not been detected any differences between the control and basic groups according to the level of corneal hysteresis and intraocular pressure.
