Goldich Y. et al. [46] (2014) | 60/60 | prospective case–control | Quantification of changes in the anterior anatomical segment, in the properties of corneal biomechanics and intraocular pressure values during pregnancy. | Decreases in IOP and a steeper cornea were observed during pregnancy. There were no statistically significant changes related to CH and CRF values, volume and depth of the anterior chamber, variations in iridocorneal angle and corneal thickness. |
Naderan M. et al. [45] (2018) | 70/70 | prospective case–control | Evaluation of changes in corneal topography and corneal biomechanics during pregnancy. | Analyzing the parameters of corneal topography and corneal biomechanics, ocular changes during pregnancy return to baseline in the postpartum period. |
Yang Y. et al. [47] (2020) | 87/52 | prospective case–control | Assessment of changes in corneal biomechanics and IOP values in pregnant Chinese women. | Statistically significant changes in corneal biomechanics parameters were observed with decreased corneal intraocular pressure pressure and increases in CH and CRF parameters. No significant variations of the IOPg parameter were observed. |
