A Review of Structural and Biomechanical Changes in the Cornea in Aging, Disease, and Photochemical Crosslinking
The study of corneal biomechanics is motivated by the tight relationship between biomechanical properties and visual function within the ocular system. For instance, variation in collagen fibril alignment and non-enzymatic crosslinks rank high among structural factors which give rise to the cornea&#...
