As the eye's main load-bearing connective tissue, the sclera is centrally important to vision.
In addition to cooperatively maintaining refractive status with the cornea, the sclera must …

This paper offers an overview of the potentialities and limitations of digital image correlation
(DIC) as a technique for measuring displacements and strain in biomechanical applications …

There are many unanswered questions on the relation of intraocular pressure to glaucoma
development and progression. IOP itself cannot be distilled to a single, unifying value …

Purpose: We combined finite element (FE) analysis and dynamic magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) to estimate optic nerve head (ONH) strains during horizontal eye movements …

This nontechnical review is focused upon educating the reader on optic nerve head
biomechanics in both aging and disease along two main themes: what is known about how …

Purpose.: We tested the hypothesis that there are age-and race-related differences in
posterior scleral material properties, using eyes from human donors of European (20–90 …

The objective of this study was to measure the collagen fiber structure and estimate the
material properties of 7 human donor scleras, from age 53 to 91. The specimens were …

To characterize the material properties of posterior and peripapillary sclera from human
donors, and to investigate the macro-and micro-scale strains as potential control …

Purpose.: To measure high-resolution eye-specific displacements and deformations induced
within the human LC microstructure by an acute increase in IOP. Methods.: Six eyes from …

Objective The biomechanical behavior of the sclera determines the level of mechanical
insult from intraocular pressure to the axons and tissues of the optic nerve head, as is of …
