The Strain Response to Intraocular Pressure Decrease in the Lamina Cribrosa of Patients with Glaucoma.

With IOP lowering, the LC moves either into or out of the eye but, on average, expands in thickness and contracts in radius.

Long-term Remodeling Response in the Lamina Cribrosa Years after Intraocular Pressure Lowering by Suturelysis after Trabeculectomy.

Strains and LC border position changes measured years after IOP lowering are far larger than the immediate response to IOP lowering and indicate dramatic remodeling of the LC anatomical structure caused by IOP lowering and glaucoma progression.

The Strain Response to Intraocular Pressure Increase in the Lamina Cribrosa of Control Subjects and Glaucoma Patients.

LC strains were measurable 20 minutes after IOP increase, producing axial compression and greater peripheral strain than centrally.
