Statistical analysis of Lamb wave phase speed, central corneal thickness, and shear modulus obtained with ACUS-OCE in the corneas of all rabbits. (a) Lamb wave speed measured in the superior and inferior meridians of the right and left corneas of all rabbits in all treatment cases. Error bars represent the standard deviation of n = 3 measurement repetitions. (b) Central corneal thickness measured from the B-mode structural images of all corneas with UV-CXL treatment cases in rabbits #2, #3, and #4. Error bars represent the standard deviation of n = 3 measurement repetitions. (c) Box plot of the estimated shear modulus (in MPa) for cases: UT-left (all rabbits and meridians, a total n = 16 meridians), HT-left Inf. (rabbits #2, #3, and #4, and only the inferior meridian, a total n = 3 meridians), HT-left Sup. (rabbits #2, #3, and #4, and only the superior meridian, a total n = 3 meridians), UT-right (all rabbits and meridians, a total n = 16 meridians), and FT-right (rabbits #2, #3, and #4, and all meridians, a total n = 12 meridians).

This cross represents the principal meridians and powers of a lens that augment the incorrect meridians and powers of the lens compensation on the right in of Numerical to achieve the meridians and powers of the lens prescription on the left.

PLB irradiation of the specific meridian (acupuncture) points may induce a wave-induced flow in the meridians, by using the interconnection of various meridians.

Proportion of meridians chosen by studies included (a). The pie chart area displays application frequency of meridians. Most studies selected Governor the vessel, while few studies select three hand-yin meridians or three hand-yang meridians. Proportion of body parts chosen by studies included (b). The chart shows maximum amount and most abundant meridians of head, face and neck acupoints and opposite for upper limb.
