High-frequency ultrasound detects biomechanical weakening in keratoconus with lower stiffness at higher grade.

In vivo biomechanical characterization of the cornea remains a challenge. We have developed a high-frequency ultrasound elastography method, the ocular pulse elastography (OPE), to measure corneal axial displacement (CAD) induced by the ocular pulse. Here we compared CAD and a stiffness index derive...
