    The study evaluated the biomechanical characteristics of healthy myopic corneas using Brillouin spectroscopy, a non-invasive measurement technique.

  • 2

    Data were collected from 1744 healthy corneas of 885 subjects, establishing reliable baselines for corneal stiffness measurements.

  • 3

    Brillouin spectroscopy provides localized stiffness information and is reportedly independent of intraocular pressure.

  • 4

    The study aimed to address inconsistencies in previous research by analyzing demographic and clinical factors in a large cohort.

  • 5

    Results from this study may improve diagnostic accuracy and promote wider use of Brillouin technology in corneal biomechanics.
