Optimal thermokeratoplasty for corneal reshaping requires precise temperature control. Temperatures between 65-85°C maximize corneal collagen shrinkage while minimizing tissue damage, ensuring effective and safe remodeling.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Materials Science

Context:

  • Thermokeratoplasty utilizes corneal collagen shrinkage to reshape the cornea.
  • Determining the ideal temperature range is crucial for effective collagen fiber shrinkage with minimal tissue damage.

Purpose:

  • Investigate the optimal temperature range for maximal corneal collagen fiber shrinkage.
  • Assess the impact of temperature on corneal biomechanical properties and tissue integrity.

Summary:

  • Corneal biomechanical properties remain stable from 30-50°C.
  • Significant shrinkage begins at 60°C, peaking between 75-80°C with 57% shrinkage.
  • Temperatures above 100°C lead to collagen destruction, reducing shrinkage and Young's modulus.

Impact:

  • Identifies 65-85°C as the optimal range for thermokeratoplasty.
  • Provides critical data for refining thermokeratoplasty techniques to improve corneal reshaping outcomes.
  • Highlights the trade-off between shrinkage and tissue damage at higher temperatures.
