The study analyses changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) and corneal biomechanical properties in the late postoperative period after refractive surgery for myopia and myopic astigmatism. It also studied the relationship between IOP level, corneal structural changes, and long-term functional outcomes. After operations such as FEMTO-LASIK and RELEX SMILE, corneal thickness significantly reduces, affecting its biomechanical stability. Reduced corneal thickness and changes in corneal stiffness can cause inaccuracies in IOP measurement by standard methods, which is an important factor in diagnosis. The study found that postoperative IOP fluctuations are associated with individual corneal characteristics, the degree of refractive correction, and the type of surgery performed. The results emphasize the need to use adapted methods for assessing IOP and corneal biomechanical parameters after refractive interventions. This allows for increased efficiency before choosing a method of laser correction and monitoring the patients' condition. The study emphasizes the need for an individualized approach to patients, taking into account changes in corneal biomechanics, to ensure long-term successful results of surgical treatment.
