Myopic axial elongation is associated with various non-pathological changes. These include
a decrease in photoreceptor cell and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell density and …

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 …

The role of accommodation in myopia development and progression has been debated for
decades. More recently, the understanding of the mechanisms involved in accommodation …

Purpose.: The objective of this study was to measure the biomechanical response of the
human posterior sclera in vitro and to estimate the effects of age and glaucoma. Methods …

Purpose To obtain information about scleral thickness in different ocular regions and its
associations. Methods The histomorphometric study included 238 human globes which had …

Purpose To evaluate scleral thickness in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) using
anterior segment (AS) OCT. Design Retrospective, comparative study. Participants Forty …

Most eyes start with a hypermetropic refractive error at birth, but the growth rates of the
ocular components, guided by visual cues, will slow in such a way that this refractive error …

Purpose To identify intraorbital and intracranial abnormalities in astronauts previously
exposed to microgravity by using quantitative and qualitative magnetic resonance (MR) …

Background: The process of emmetropization is the adjustment of the length of the optical
axis to the given optical properties of the cornea and lens after the end of the second year of …

Scleral thickness, especially near the optic nerve head (ONH), is a potential factor of interest
in the development of glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Large differences in the dimensions …
