Collagen Structure and Mechanical Properties of the Human Sclera: Analysis for the Effects of Age
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: 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 subjected to inflation testing, and the fullfield ...
Effects of Age and Diabetes on Scleral Stiffness
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effects of diabetes on the collagen structure and material properties of the sclera are unknown but may be important to elucidate whether diabetes is a risk factor for major ocular diseases such as glaucoma. This study ...
