Purpose: This study aimed to employ the incremental digital image correlation (DIC) method to obtain displacement and strain field data of the cornea from Corvis ST (CVS) sequences and access the performance of embedding these biomechanical data with machine learning models to distinguish forme fruste keratoconus (FFKC) from normal corneas. Methods: 100 subjects were categorized into normal (N = 50) and FFKC (N = 50) groups. Image sequences depicting the horizontal cross-section of the human cornea under air puff were captured using the Corvis ST tonometer. The high-speed evolution of full-field corneal displacement, strain, velocity, and strain rate was reconstructed utilizing the incremental DIC approach. Maximum (max-) and average (ave-) values of full-field displacement V, shear strain γxy, velocity VR, and shear strain rate γxyR were determined over time, generating eight evolution curves denoting max-V, max-γxy, max-VR, max-γxyR, ave-V, ave-γxy, ave-VR, and ave-γxyR, respectively. These evolution data were inputted into two machine learning (ML) models, specifically Naïve Bayes (NB) and Random Forest (RF) models, which were subsequently employed to construct a voting classifier. The performance of the models in diagnosing FFKC from normal corneas was compared to existing CVS parameters. Results: The Normal group and the FFKC group each included 50 eyes. The FFKC group did not differ from healthy controls for age (p = 0.26) and gender (p = 0.36) at baseline, but they had significantly lower bIOP (p < 0.001) and thinner central cornea thickness (CCT) (p < 0.001). The results demonstrated that the proposed voting ensemble model yielded the highest performance with an AUC of 1.00, followed by the RF model with an AUC of 0.99. Radius and A2 Time emerged as the best-performing CVS parameters with AUC values of 0.948 and 0.938, respectively. Nonetheless, no existing Corvis ST parameters outperformed the ML models. A progressive enhancement in performance of the ML models was observed with incremental time points during the corneal deformation. Conclusion: This study represents the first instance where displacement and strain data following incremental DIC analysis of Corvis ST images were integrated with machine learning models to effectively differentiate FFKC corneas from normal ones, achieving superior accuracy compared to existing CVS parameters. Considering biomechanical responses of the inner cornea and their temporal pattern changes may significantly improve the early detection of keratoconus.
