The high-speed camera takes 140 pictures within 31 ms from the start of the air puff.
These 140 images provide a detailed insight into the dynamic biomechanical response
to the air puff. Important information is provided by the deformation amplitude, the
applanation length for the 1st and 2nd applanations and the bend radius at the time
of maximum deformation, etc.
These parameters of the DCR analysis are presented using Scheimpflug images and
videos, diagrams and a table.
Example: Compared to a more rigid cornea with the same IOP, a softer cornea would
have a higher deformation amplitude but a shorter applanation length, as well as a
smaller bend radius at the time of maximum deformation. These parameters of the DCR
analysis provide insights with regard to the corneal biomechanics.
For normality values relating to the DCR parameters, refer to the Vinciguerra Screening
Report (sect. 4.4, page 28).

Display images
You can view images (1) as a video or as freeze frames. To do this, you can use the video
function (2), see also sect. 4, page 14.

4.3.1 Parameters of DCR Analysis
The parameters of DCR analysis are illustrated using Scheimpflug images (Fig. 4-7, page
19, item 1) and diagrams (Fig. 4-7, page 19, item 6).
Scheimpflug images
The following illustration shows the Scheimpflug images at three specific points in
time during the deformation of the cornea.
2
3
1 Length of 1st Applanation 3 Deflection amplitude

2 Bend radius 4 Length of 2nd Applanation
Fig. 4-9: Points in time during the deformation
In addition to the first applanation, the point of maximum deformation (highest

concavity) and the point of the second applanation are also important.
Applanation1: shows Applanation 1 before the cornea is pressed in by the air puff. The
applanation shows the cornea at the time of transition from a convex shape to a
concave shape in the central area of the cornea (0.5 mm diameter at the apex). The
time at which the camera begins recording is taken as the zero value. The force of the
air puff in the air nozzle at this point is determined based on this applanation time. This
is used to derive the IOP.
For more information, refer to “Parameters of the first and second applanation” on page
23.
Highest Concavity: shows the highest concavity of the cornea in response to the air
puff, i.e. when the apex is the farthest from its initial position.

At the time of maximum deformation, amongst other information, the deflection

amplitude (3) and bend radius (2) (Fig. 4-9, page 21), as well as the peak distance
(Fig. 4-16, page 26) are determined.
For more information, refer to “Parameters at the time of highest concavity” on page 24.
Applanation2: shows the applanated state as the cornea moves backward. The
applanation is determined by the transition from a concave shape to a convex shape in
the central area of the cornea (0.5 mm diameter at the apex).
For more information, refer to “Parameters of the first and second applanation” on page
23.
Diagrams
The diagrams show values during the deformation of the cornea (1).
2
1 Deformation of the cornea
2 Corneal movement
Fig. 4-10: Example: “Corneal Velocity” diagram
The black line (2) shows the current point in time of the deformation, like the video.
Since the individual diagrams support the parameters at the individual points in time,
they are explained at the corresponding points.
The “Corneal Velocity” diagram depicts the speed of the corneal apex in the vertical
direction.
In case of positive speed, the curve points upwards; in case of negative speed, it points
downwards.

Parameters of the first and second applanation
For Applanation 1 and Applanation 2 (Fig. 4-9, page 21, items 1 and 4), the following
parameters are important:
“Applanation length” parameter:
Length of a straight line which describes the applanated region of the cornea. For the
length, it is crucial that the cornea feature a constant pitch.
Fig. 4-11: Scheimpflug image “Applanation 1”
The “Applanation Length” diagram indicates the applanation length at the various
points in time.
Fig. 4-12: “Applanation Length” diagram

Parameters at the time of highest concavity
Deformation/deflection amplitude
Fig. 4-13: Diagram: Deformation amplitude
Deformation amplitude (red): Depicts the movement of the corneal apex in the vertical
direction. It consists of the sum of the deflection amplitude and the total eye
movement.
Deflection amplitude (blue): Depicts the movement of the corneal apex in reference to
the superimposed cornea in its non-deformed state. Consequently, the total movement
of the eye is compensated, and only the movement of the cornea is described.
Total eye movement (green): Describes the movement of the entire eye (determined by
the movement of the edge points in the periphery).

“Bend radius” parameter:
x x 2
3
1 Bend radius 3 Highest concavity

2 Deflection length
Fig. 4-14: Bend radius
The parameter describes the central bend radius at the time of maximum deformation.
For this purpose, a parabolic adjustment (fit) is made. This fit is used to derive the
central bend radius.
The inverse bend radius (1/r) is determined during the concave phase of deformation
and plotted against time.

Max Inverse Radius: The maximum value of the inverse bend radius during the concave
phase of deformation.

“Peak distance” parameter :

The peak distance describes the distance between the two highest points (red circles)
of the cornea.
Fig. 4-16: Peak distance
“Delta Arclength” parameter :
3.5 mm 3.5 mm
Fig. 4-17: Delta Arclength
Delta arclength reflects the arc length in a defined 7 mm zone. First, the absolute arc
length in the non-deformed state is determined. The zone is set at precisely 3.5 mm
from the apex in both directions. In precisely the same zone, the change in the arc
length over time is measured.
Fig. 4-18: Delta Arc Length

“DA Ratio (2mm)” parameter:
3.5 mm 3.5 mm
Fig. 4-19: DA Ratio 2mm
Describes the relationship between the deformation amplitude at the apex and the
deformation amplitude at 2mm. With softer tissue, the cornea starts to deform in the
middle and only smaller movements in the paracentral region can be observed. As a
result, the ratio is higher for softer corneas than for more rigid corneas.1

4.4 “Vinciguerra Screening Report” Screen

The “Vinciguerra Screening Report” allows you to conduct a screening for corneas with
divergent biomechanical characteristics. This report combines biomechanical
information with data of the pachymetric progression.
Based on this, the Corvis Biomechanical Index (CBI) is calculated. The CBI makes it
possible to detect ectasia.
Keratoconus is caused by biomechanical changes and leads to progressive thinning of
the cornea. The software is able to detect this condition early on.
The normal values of Dynamic Corneal Response (DCR) parameters are presented as a
bIOP function. Standardised parameters indicate whether or not the cornea
demonstrates a normal biomechanical response.

Fig. 4-22: Example: “DA Ratio” diagram
The red curve shows the behaviour of the measured cornea (1) over time. The thin grey
lines (2) show the normal range within a standard deviation (SD). The thicker grey lines
show the range of two SDs. The normal ranges are adjusted to suit the bIOP of the
specific patient. In other words, the normal ranges for a patient with a bIOP of
13 mmHg is different from the normal range for a patient with a bIOP = 19 mmHg, for
example.
The screening parameters at specific times and the maximum values are plotted
against the bIOP of the patient (2) and the normal ranges of the screening parameters
are shown again in relation to the bIOP.

2 4
Fig. 4-26: Combination diagram “Deflection Area”
The deflection area describes the overall surface “displaced” due to corneal
deformation in the horizontal section analysed. Because it is superimposed with the
cornea in the initial phase, the total eye movement is compensated, and only the
corneal movement is taken into consideration.
The deflection area is calculated throughout the entire deformation process.

4.4.2 Index Views
Fig. 4-27: Index view
In this index view (Fig. 4-21, page 28, item 3), the determined values are additionally
displayed in a grey evaluation bar. The CBI value (Corvis biomechanical index) is
determined and presented in a colour bar.
The standard deviations (SD) are displayed for the four main screening parameters (DA
ratio, interated radius, ARTh and the rigidity parameter (SP-A1)). A higher SD indicates
a softer cornea. The light-grey region represents the range between one and two SDs.
The dark-grey region is the range between two and three SDs. The black bar presents
the current measurement values. The SD values below the bars indicate by which
multiple of the SD the measurement values deviate from the average value for healthy
patients.
The CBI represents a combined index comprised of different screening parameters and
was specially developed for detecting corneal ectasia.
Table parameters
SP-A1: (Stiffness Parameter); Rigidity parameter; Describes the rigidity of the cornea.
Calculated according to Cynthia Roberts, based on the definition of the resulting
pressure on the cornea at the time of applanation/deflection amplitude at this time
(resulting load / deformation).
Analogous to the 3-point bending of a beam stiffness is defined as applied load divided
by displacement. The load is calculated based on the difference between the strength
of the air pulse at the corneal surface and the bIOP1. The displacement of the cornea
at the time of first applanation is given by A1 Deflection Amplitude.
SP-A1 = (adj. AP1 –bIOP) / A1 Deflection Amplitude

with
adj. AP1 = strength of air pulse at corneal surface at time of first
applanation
bIOP = biomechanical corrected IOP
A1 Deflection Amplitude = deflection amplitude at the time of first applanation

4.5 “Biomechanical/Tomographical Assessment” Screen

With the “Biomechanical/Tomographical Assessment”, you can integrate Pentacam®
data and use them for a combined tomographical and biomechanical analysis.
The TBI (Tomographic Biomechanical Index) uses artificial intelligence to optimise
ectasia detection. To calculate the TBI, the Belin/Ambrosio software must be enabled
in Pentacam®.
The combination of tomographical data from Pentacam® with biomechanical data
from Corvis® ST makes it easier to identify patients who are at a high risk of developing
ectasia following refractive surgery.
The TBI is output as a result of the analysis.
