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 …

This article is dedicated to Rosario Hernandez for her warm support of my own work and her
genuine enthusiasm for the work of her colleagues throughout her career. I first met Rosario …

Biomechanical factors acting at the level of the lamina cribrosa (LC) are postulated to play a
role in retinal ganglion cell dysfunction and loss in glaucoma. In support of this postulate, we …

The purpose of this review is to examine the literature in an attempt to elucidate a
biomechanical basis for glaucomatous cupping. In particular, this work focuses on the role of …

Scleral thickness, especially near the region of the optic nerve head (ONH), is a potential
factor of interest in the development of glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Our goal was to …

Purpose: We combined finite element (FE) analysis and dynamic magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) to estimate optic nerve head (ONH) strains during horizontal eye movements …

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 …

OBJECTIVE: To determine the response of the anterior lamina cribrosa and prelaminar
tissue to acute elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucoma patients and healthy …

Objectives To assess focal lamina cribrosa (LC) defects in glaucoma using enhanced depth
imaging optical coherence tomography and to investigate their spatial relationships with …

Purpose.: This study investigates the relationship between intraocular pressure (IOP) and
retinal hemodynamics and predicts how arterial blood pressure (BP) and blood flow …
