Biomechanics of the optic nerve head

IA Sigal, CR Ethier - Experimental eye research, 2009 - Elsevier
Biomechanical factors acting at the level of the lamina cribrosa (LC) are postulated to play a
role in retinal ganglion cell dysfunction and loss in glaucoma. In support of this postulate, we …

Glaucomatous cup** of the lamina cribrosa: a review of the evidence for active progressive remodeling as a mechanism

JC Downs, MD Roberts, IA Sigal - Experimental eye research, 2011 - Elsevier
The purpose of this review is to examine the literature in an attempt to elucidate a
biomechanical basis for glaucomatous cup**. In particular, this work focuses on the role of …

[HTML][HTML] Biomechanical changes in the sclera of monkey eyes exposed to chronic IOP elevations

MJA Girard, JKF Suh, M Bottlang… - … & visual science, 2011 - tvst.arvojournals.org

chronic intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation was induced in one eye. Methods.: Each …

Mechanical environment of the optic nerve head in glaucoma

JC Downs, MD Roberts… - Optometry and Vision …, 2008 - journals.lww.com
The optic nerve head (ONH) is of particular interest from a biomechanical perspective
because it is a weak spot within an otherwise strong corneo-scleral envelope. The lamina …

(ONH) are detectable by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) in …

Premise and prediction—how optic nerve head biomechanics underlies the susceptibility and clinical behavior of the aged optic nerve head

CF Burgoyne, JC Downs - Journal of glaucoma, 2008 - journals.lww.com
We propose that age-related alterations in optic nerve head (ONH) biomechanics underlie
the clinical behavior and increased susceptibility of the aged ONH to glaucomatous …
