ResumoPurpose To describe the method of operation of the Reichert Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) and the importance of corneal biomechanical properties in clinical practice. Methods The engineering and physics concepts behind the operation of the Ocular Response Analyzer will be introduced. The measurement parameters provided by the instrument will be introduced and defined. Special emphasis will be placed on the importance of the Corneal Hysteresis and Corneal Resistance Factor measurements in the understanding of corneal biomechanical properties, and the clinical relevance of these parameters. Results Relevant results from existing peer-reviewed literature will be presented. Conclusion The Ocular Response Analyzer provides clinically useful indicators of corneal biomechanical properties.
