Study Arms (4)
Lasik
a non-contact air puff tonometer combined with Scheimpflug imaging to assess the cornea's deformation response. Measurements will be taken at multiple postoperative time points to track biomechanical changes. Key parameters such as Deformation Amplitude (DA), Stiffness Parameter (SP-A1), Applanation Times (A1 \& A2), Peak Distance (PD), and Biomechanically Corrected IOP (bIOP) will be recorded.
PRK
a non-contact air puff tonometer combined with Scheimpflug imaging to assess the cornea's deformation response. Measurements will be taken at multiple postoperative time points to track biomechanical changes. Key parameters such as Deformation Amplitude (DA), Stiffness Parameter (SP-A1), Applanation Times (A1 \& A2), Peak Distance (PD), and Biomechanically Corrected IOP (bIOP) will be recorded.
CXL
a non-contact air puff tonometer combined with Scheimpflug imaging to assess the cornea's deformation response. Measurements will be taken at multiple postoperative time points to track biomechanical changes. Key parameters such as Deformation Amplitude (DA), Stiffness Parameter (SP-A1), Applanation Times (A1 \& A2), Peak Distance (PD), and Biomechanically Corrected IOP (bIOP) will be recorded.
Veriflex and ICL
corneal Biomechanics and ECD measuments pre and postoperative . a non-contact air puff tonometer combined with Scheimpflug imaging to assess the cornea's deformation response. Measurements will be taken at multiple postoperative time points to track biomechanical changes. Key parameters such as Deformation Amplitude (DA), Stiffness Parameter (SP-A1), Applanation Times (A1 \& A2), Peak Distance (PD), and Biomechanically Corrected IOP (bIOP) will be recorded.

Eligibility Criteria
patients coming for refractive surgery
You may qualify if:
- \- 1. Adults aged 18-60 years. 2. Patients who have undergone LASIK, PRK, or CXL at least 1 month prior to measure-ment.
- \. Stable refraction for at least 3 months post-procedure. 4. No evidence of active ocular disease or infection.
You may not qualify if:
- \. History of other ocular surgeries (excluding LASIK, PRK, or CXL). 2. Presence of keratoconus or other corneal ectatic disorders not treated with CXL.
- \. Systemic or ocular conditions affecting corneal biomechanical properties (e.g., dia-betes, connective tissue disorders).
- \. Current or recent use of medications influencing corneal biomechanics.
