This study is testing a new way to look at the eye called Brillouin imaging. Researchers want to see if Brillouin imaging can help diagnose conditions like keratoconus (a thinning of the cornea, the clear front part of your eye) and ectasia (a bulging of the cornea). They will compare the stiffness of the cornea in healthy people, those with keratoconus, and those who have had LASIK eye surgery. The main goal is to measure the cornea's stiffness to see if this imaging technique can be a useful diagnostic tool. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status. You may be able to join if you are between 20 and 75 years old and have healthy corneas, keratoconus, or have had LASIK surgery without problems in the last year.
