Popis: Purpose: To evaluate the effect of night shifts on the biomechanical properties of the cornea using Scheimpflug camera-based imaging (Corvis and Pentacam). Methods: Thirty-four participants from the medical staff who had at least six night shifts per month as a case group and fifty-two participants as a control group participated in the study. The biomechanical characteristics of the cornea using the Corvis device and the topographical characteristics of the cornea using the Pentacam device were investigated in the participants. Results: The main indices of corneal biomechanics including Corvis Biomechanical Index (0.17 ± 0.18 vs. 0.15 ± 0.14; P = 0.66 [adjusted] and 0.66 [unadjusted]) and Tomographic and Biomechanical Index (0.16 ± 0.19 vs. 0.14 ± 0.19; P = 0.78 [adjusted] and 0.63 [unadjusted]) were not significantly different between case and control groups. Conclusion: Our study showed that night shifts do not independently affect corneal biomechanical indices.
