Zusammenfassung:To evaluate corneal biomechanical properties by the Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) in non keratoconic patients underwent penetrating keratoplasty (PK). Corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), Goldmann- correlated intraocular pressure (IOPg), cornea-compensated IOP (IOPcc) using the ORA, and central graft thickness (CGT) were measured in 30 eyes at least two years after penetrating keratoplasty for non keratoconic indications. IOP using the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) was also obtained after compensation for graft thickness and astigmatism. The mean age of patients was 33.1 ± 10.13 years; indications for PK were herpetic corneal scar (53.3%), corneal stromal dystrophy (23.3%), traumatic corneal opacity (10%), chemical corneal opacity (6.7%), and Fuchs endothelial dystrophy (6.7%). Mean CH and CRF were 8.52 ± 1.81 mmHg, and 8.56 ± 1.59 mmHg, respectively. Mean CGT was 532.43 ± 30 μm. Mean IOP GAT, IOPg, and IOPcc were 11.88 ± 3.66, 14.64 ± 4.08, and 17.27 ± 4.60 mmHg, respectively (P
