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 …

Nowadays, dynamically developing optical (photonic) technologies play an ever-increasing
role in medicine. Their adequate and effective implementation in diagnostics, surgery, and …

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 …

Purpose.: The posterior sclera has a major biomechanical influence on the optic nerve head,
and may therefore be important in glaucoma. Scleral material properties are influenced …

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 …

The posterior eye is a complex biomechanical structure. Delicate neural and vascular
tissues of the retina, choroid, and optic nerve head that are critical for visual function are …

Characterizing the collagen fiber orientation and organization in the eye is necessary for a
complete understanding of ocular biomechanics. In this study, we assess the performance of …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to leverage polarized light microscopy (PLM) to
visualize the collagen fiber architecture of posterior pole and optic nerve head with …

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 …
