The aim of the current study is to investigate corneal biomechanical properties in detail using Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) and Corvis ST (CST) tonometry and to analyze the association between corneal biomechanical properties and the frequency of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections (F IV ) in AS eyes with choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Twenty-eight eyes of 15 patients with AS were enrolled. Mean age of AS patients was 67.9 ± 9.8 years. ORA and CST measurements were carried out, in addition to comprehensive ophthalmic examinations. LogMAR visual acuity (VA) and ΔVA (the change of VA from baseline to the final visit) were calculated in each eye. Also, the relationships between F IV , and the variables of initial age at the observation period, axial length, and corneal biomechanical properties were investigated in eyes with AS using linear mixed model with model selection using AICc. In 28 AS eyes, 16 eyes underwent intravitreal anti-VEGF injections during follow-up period. Lower corneal hysteresis (CH), higher corneal resistant factor (CRF) and higher CST measured the DA ratio were associated with the increase of F IV  in AS eyes (p = 0.01, p = 0.002, p = 0.027, respectively), suggesting the usefulness for monitoring of corneal biomechanical properties.
