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 …

There are many unanswered questions on the relation of intraocular pressure to glaucoma
development and progression. IOP itself cannot be distilled to a single, unifying value …

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

Glaucoma is a progressive and chronic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by
damage to the inner layers of the retina and deformation of the optic nerve head. The …

Purpose.: To characterize scleral biomechanics in both eyes of eight monkeys in which
chronic intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation was induced in one eye. Methods.: Each …

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

This nontechnical review is focused upon educating the reader on optic nerve head
biomechanics in both aging and disease along two main themes: what is known about how …

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 …

Purpose.: The posterior sclera has a major biomechanical influence on the optic nerve head,
and may therefore be important in glaucoma. Scleral material properties are influenced …

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