Allergic conjunctivitis (AC) comprises a group of conditions triggered by environmental allergens, substantially diminishing the quality of life, particularly among children and adolescents. The mechanical impact of eye rubbing in patients with AC is known to induce biomechanical alterations in the cornea. Modern instruments enable the detection and quantification of these corneal biomechanical changes. The ocular response analyzer and CorVis ST have become standard tools for assessing corneal biomechanical properties. We conducted a review of studies that have investigated corneal biomechanics in patients with AC using both devices to elucidate the association between corneal biomechanical changes and early ectasia development. Our analysis highlights significant findings regarding the tomographic biomechanical index parameter in corneal biomechanics among patients with AC. These findings underscore the importance of ocular screening for all patients to promptly detect subclinical keratoconus changes, thereby improving disease management and outcomes.
过敏性结膜炎（AC）是由环境过敏原引起的一组疾病，极大地降低了生活质量，尤其是在儿童和青少年中。患有 AC 的患者揉眼的机械作用会导致角膜生物力学发生改变。现代仪器能够检测和量化这些角膜生物力学变化。眼反应分析仪和 CorVis ST 已成为评估角膜生物力学特性的标准工具。我们对使用这两种设备研究 AC 患者角膜生物力学的研究进行了综述，以阐明角膜生物力学变化与早期扩张发展之间的关系。我们的分析突出了 AC 患者角膜生物力学中关于断层生物力学指数参数的重要发现。这些发现强调了对所有患者进行眼部筛查的重要性，以便及时发现亚临床圆锥角膜变化，从而改善疾病管理和结果。
