Measurement of Orbital Biomechanical Properties in Patients with Thyroid Orbitopathy Using the Dynamic Scheimpflug Analyzer (Corvis ST)

Abstract

Biomechanical parameters as measured by the CST were significantly reduced in patients with thyroid orbitopathy compared to age- and gender-matched healthy subjects, indicating a reduction in orbital compliance in thyroid orbitopathy. The parameters WEMl and WEMt might be a useful diagnostic tool to evaluate the condition of the eyeball within the orbit.
