Abstract: 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 subjected to mechanical loading from ...

Abstract: Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness and involves the death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Although biomechanics likely contributes to axonal injury within the optic nerve head (ONH), leading to RGC ...

Abstract: We remember the life of Professor Robert M. Nerem, who made fundamental, enduring contributions to the fields of biomedical and biomechanical engineering in the U.S. and around the world.The field of biomechanical engineering ...

Abstract: Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide and is characterized by the death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), the cells that send vision information to the brain. Their axons exit the eye at the optic ...
