Effects of Peripapillary Scleral Stiffening on the Deformation of the Lamina Cribrosa

PURPOSE: Scleral stiffening has been proposed as a treatment for glaucoma to protect the lamina cribrosa (LC) from excessive intraocular pressure–induced deformation. Here we experimentally evaluated the effects of moderate stiffening of the peripapillary sclera on the deformation of the LC. METHODS...
