Biomechanics is the study of the relationship between forces and function in living
organisms and is thought to play a critical role in a significant number of ophthalmic …

Pigment dispersion syndrome (PDS) and pigmentary glaucoma (PG) are two stages within
the same ophthalmic disease spectrum, which are known to be affected by race. The …

Purpose: To evaluate the biomechanical properties of the iris by evaluating iris movement
during pupil constriction and to compare such properties between healthy and primary angle …

Purpose: Previous studies have shown that iris mechanical properties may play a role in the
pathophysiology of primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). Such studies, however, were …

The tricuspid valve is an atrioventricular valve that prevents blood backflow from the right
ventricle into the right atrium during ventricular contractions. It is important to study …

Use of scruffing and scruffing tools (eg, clipnosis clips) to immobilise cats is contentious, and
cat handling guidelines vary in recommendations regarding these techniques. The current …

Background Disclosing the mechanism of primary angle closure glaucoma with pupillary
block is important to the diagnosis as well as treatments, such as the laser peripheral …

Aim Previous studies have shown that the trabecular meshwork (TM) is mechanically stiffer
in glaucomatous eyes as compared to normal eyes. It is believed that elevated TM stiffness …

We explore the ideas and advances surrounding the genetic basis of pigment dispersion
syndrome (PDS) and pigmentary glaucoma (PG). As PG is the leading cause of …

Purpose (1) To use finite element (FE) modelling to estimate local iris stresses (ie internal
forces) as a result of mechanical pupil expansion; and to (2) compare such stresses as …
