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 …

Accumulating evidence indicates that glaucoma is a multifactorial neurodegenerative
disease characterized by the loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGC), resulting in gradual and …

Corneal biomechanics is an essential parameter for developing diagnostic and treatment
methods of corneal-related diseases. It is widely accepted that corneal mechanical strength …

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 …

Careful quantification of the changes in biomechanical properties of the iris can offer insight
into the pathophysiology of some ocular diseases. However, to date there has not been …

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 …

Purpose: To evaluate the biomechanical properties (Young's modulus) of normal (control)
and glaucomatous human iris using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Methods: Iris tissue …

Background Understanding the mechanical properties of the iris can help to have an insight
into the eye diseases with abnormalities of the iris morphology. Material parameters of the …
