Measurement of the Elastic Modulus of Cornea, Sclera and Limbus: The Importance of the Corneal-Limbus-Scleral Biomechanical Unit

Measurement of the Elastic Modulus of Cornea, Sclera and Limbus: The Importance of the Corneal-Limbus-Scleral Biomechanical Unit

Background: Energy storage, transmission and dissipation are important considerations of normal mechanical homeostasis. In this paper we present a new technique termed vibrational optical coherence tomography (VOCT) to study the anterior anatomic structures of the pig eye to better understand how en...
