256 subjects (256 eyes) participated in the study: 174 healthy individuals (174 eyes) with normal corneas with different refraction and 82 patients (82 eyes) with keratoconus at stages 1, 2 and 3. Based on mathematical modeling, the biomechanical corneal properties with different patterns of keratoconus at stages 1, 2, and 3 were evaluated. Mathematical modeling made it possible to determine the dimensions and degrees of local corneal biomechanical properties reduction, which depended on the disease stage and practically did not change from the shape and keratopographic pattern localization.
