Abstract
Ultrasound images of a patient's cornea or sclera include speckles that can be tracked between frames to measure tissue displacement, such as during a heartbeat that changes intraocular pressure. Speckle tracking techniques and noise reduction filters allow for the strain within the tissue to be calculated and compared to known thresholds to determine stiffness. These measures will be used to diagnose keratoconus and other ophthalmology disorders at an early stage, as an abnormally low stiffness or heterogeneity in stiffness will indicate high risk for progression of certain diseases.
