Roberts, Ashraf M. Mahmoud, Richard G. Lembach,Thomas F. Mauger. Department of Ophthalmology and Departmentof Biomedical Engineering, The Ohio State University, Columbus,OH.Purpose: To evaluate in vivo corneal deformation characteristics andmeasures of intraocular pressure (IOP) before and after cornealcollagen crosslinking (CXL).Methods: 26 eyes of 26 subjects with keratoconus or post-refractivesurgery ectasia had CXL treatment (Tx), and had pre and 6 monthpost CXL data from Goldmann Applanation Tonometry (GAT),PASCAL Dynamic Contour Tonometry (DCT), Ocularl ResponseAnalyzer (ORA) for Goldman-correlated IOPg, corneal compensatedIOPcc, corneal hysteresis, CH and corneal resistance factor, CRF, aswell as CorVis ST, for inward (T1) and outward (T2) applanationtimes, pachymetry (pach), and inward (Vin) velocity. 16 fellow eyeswho had data from the same devices at the same times were controls(C). Custom software for ORA produced pressures at inward (P1)and outward (P2) applanations, applanation times (Time1,Time2),maximum pressure, (Pmax) and time, (Tpmax). Custom software forCorVis image edges produced radius of curvature at highestconcavity, (rad-curveHC) and time, (TimeHC). Data were comparedwith t-tests.Results: Significant differences between Tx and C groups werefound in IOPg (Tx: +1.2±2.2mmHg; C: -1.1±1.4mmHg; p=.0004),IOPcc (Tx: +1.4±3.5mmHg; C: -1.3±1.9mmHg; p=.0020), P1(Tx:+7.5±17.3mmHg; C: -5.8±15.3mmHg; p=.0155), P2(Tx:+10.8±20.7mmHg; C: -8.3±10.9mmHg; p=.0003), Pmax (Tx:+25.4±59.6mmHg; C: -8.6±24.2mmHg.0138; p=), Tpmax (Tx:+.24±.74ms; C: -.11±.29ms.0375; ), Time1(Tx: +.17±.36ms; C: -.13±1.9ms; p=.0085), Pach(Tx: -71±52µ; C: -21±44µ; p=.0029), andVin(Tx: -.005±.063ms; C: +.035±.039ms; p=.0301). In the ORA, thedifference in pre to post-CXL Time2 minus Time1 was significant inC (+.21±.32ms; p=.0161), but not in Tx. In the CorVis, the differencein pre to post-CXL T2-T1, was significant in Tx(-1.11±.99ms;p0.05). UCVA (-0.09 logmar units) and BCVA (-0.07 logmarunits) improved statistically (p
