Corneal Biomechanics During Pregnancy

NCT04433689 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 50

Last updated 2020-06-22

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

It is known that intraocular pressure changes during pregnancy. Collagen structure changes during pregnancy to enable softening of the symphysis, whitening of the birth chanel, and, thus, ultimately to enable delivery of a child. The cornea consists of highly structured collagen fibers. Hence, it seams logically that corneal biomechanics also change during pregnancy.
