RISCollagen 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 ...
Deformation Response of the Human Lamina Cribrosa to Intracranial Pressure Lowering
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The optic nerve head (ONH) is subjected to both intra-ocular pressure (IOP) and intracranial pressure (ICP). The translaminar pressure difference (TLPD) is defined as the difference between IOP and ICP. A change in TLPD, ...
Biomechanical Strain Responses in the Sclera, Choroid, and Retina in Glaucoma Patients After Intraocular Pressure Lowering
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study measured the strain response to intraocular pressure (IOP) change in the sclera, choroid, and retina of glaucoma patients whose optic nerve head region was imaged by optical coherence tomography (OCT) before and ...
