Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and autosomal-dominant optic atrophy (DOA) are
the two most common inherited optic neuropathies in the general population. Both disorders …

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 …

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

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

OBJECTIVE: To assess the usefulness of enhanced depth imaging (EDI) optical coherence
tomography (OCT) for evaluating deep structures of the optic nerve complex (ONC; optic …

Purpose.: To quantify the lamina cribrosa insertion into the peripapillary sclera and optic
nerve pia in normal (N) and early experimental glaucoma (EEG) monkey eyes. Methods …

Purpose.: To study the anterior–posterior lamina cribrosa deformation (LCD) and the scleral
canal expansion (SCE) produced by an increase in IOP and identify the main factors and …

Purpose.: To examine the biomechanical deformation of load bearing structures of the optic
nerve head (ONH) resulting from raised intracranial pressure, using high definition optical …

Purpose.: To measure high-resolution eye-specific displacements and deformations induced
within the human LC microstructure by an acute increase in IOP. Methods.: Six eyes from …
