IMCUSTOMEYE landmark paper on first multi-meridian corneal imaging device PUBLISHED IN BOE

An EU Horizon 2020 IMCUSTOMEYE project landmark paper has just been published in Biomedical Optics Express. It is the result of a collaboration between CSIC, University of Liverpool, and the Polish Academy of Science. It presents the first multi-meridian corneal imaging device, based on a swept-source optical coherence tomography system with high transverse scanning frame rates, to measure a promising early keratoconus biomarker based on air-puff-induced deformation asymmetry. The system will serve both as the basis for determining the minimum viable specifications for a keratoconus screening device based on a deformation asymmetry biomarker, and as a platform to estimate patient-specific corneal biomechanical properties, that can be fed in corneal surgery planning simulators. Currently the system is employed in a pilot clinical study with Keratoconus and Lasik-candidate subjects in collaboration with Fernandez Vega Ophthalmological Institute.
