Fluid mechanical processes are an intrinsic part of several aspects of the physiology and
pathology of the human eye. In this article we describe selected phenomena that are …

The human eye is a complex biomechanical structure with a range of biomechanical
processes involved in various physiological as well as pathological conditions. Fluid flow …

Cataract scatters the light as it enters the eye, blurs images and severely interferes people's
daily activities. The only effective therapy is cataract surgery, in which the clouded lens is …

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 …

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 …

Pupil blocking force (PBF) can indicate the potential risk of pupil block (PB), which is
considered as a main pathogenic factor of primary angle‐closure glaucoma (PACG) …

Purpose.: To investigate the contribution of three anatomical and physiologic factors (dilator
thickness, dynamic pupillary block, and iris compressibility) to changes in iris configuration …

The iris plays an important role in certain types of glaucoma, including primary angle-closure
glaucoma and pigmentary glaucoma. Iris mechanics are also important in influencing …

The purpose of this work was to study in silico how iris root rotation due to spontaneous
blinking alters the iris contour. An axisymmetric finite-element model of the anterior segment …
