Glaucoma-related Changes in the Mechanical Properties and Collagen Micro-architecture of the Human Sclera

OBJECTIVE: The biomechanical behavior of the sclera determines the level of mechanical insult from intraocular pressure to the axons and tissues of the optic nerve head, as is of interest in glaucoma. In this study, we measure the collagen fiber structure and the strain response, and estimate the ma...
