PURPOSES: To investigate associations between Corvis ST-measured corneal biomechanical parameters and glaucomatous optic nerve head (ONH) morphology. METHODS: In total, 118 eyes of 70 patients with open-angle glaucoma were examined in this retrospective cross-sectional study. We measured Heidelberg retina tomograph and Corvis ST values in all eyes. We used the linear mixed model in four sectors (temporal superior, TS; temporal inferior, TI; nasal superior, NS; and nasal inferior, NI) to detect associations between six ONH-related parameters and 14 Corvis ST-related parameters, controlling for age, intraocular pressure, axial length, and central corneal thickness. We calculated the ONH temporal and nasal sector vertical asymmetries (TS-TI and NS-NI asymmetries) and identified the optimal linear mixed models to describe them using model selection with the second-order bias corrected Akaike Information Criterion. RESULTS: The Corvis ST A2 velocity was negatively associated with the rim volume in the NS sector (p < 0.05). The optimal model for TS-TI asymmetry was TS-TI asymmetry = - 3.22 + 0.15 × HC time + 0.88 × HC deflection amplitude, whereas that for NS-NI asymmetry was 0.49-0.048 × axial length - 2.45 × A2 velocity. CONCLUSION: Glaucomatous ONH superior-inferior asymmetries were associated with biomechanical properties measured with Corvis ST. Eyes with superior-dominant rim volume reduction of ONH were associated with small deformations and slow recovery of the cornea.
