This study used computational fluid dynamics to assess optimal hole size in phakic IOLs for aqueous humor flow. It found 0.2mm or larger is desirable, with the current 0.36mm hole being near ideal for circulation.

NTG eyes showed significantly lower corneal resistance and hysteresis than normal eyes, suggesting corneal biomechanical weakness may be a pathological clue for NTG.

This study found Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) IOP readings are significantly affected by corneal astigmatism, while Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) measurements are not, suggesting ORA may provide more accurate IOPs in astigmatic eyes.

This study found that ORA's corneal-compensated IOP (IOPcc) was significantly higher than other IOP measurements in normal tension glaucoma, suggesting IOP might be underestimated in these patients.

This study found corneal hysteresis in normal eyes is primarily influenced by thinner central corneal thickness and higher intraocular pressure. This highlights their importance for biomechanical assessment, especially before refractive surgery.

This study found a 1.0mm central hole in phakic IOLs prevents cataract development in porcine eyes by improving aqueous humor flow, suggesting a clinical benefit for human ICL design.

Topical Nipradilol significantly improved spherical myopic regression after LASIK, possibly by flattening the cornea via IOP reduction, offering a potential non-surgical treatment.

Studying ICLs in pigs, researchers found ICLs without holes disrupt aqueous humor flow to the lens, causing cataracts. Central or haptic holes improve flow, reducing opacities, suggesting design impacts cataract risk.
