The Effects of Glaucoma on the Pressure-Induced Strain Response of the Human Lamina Cribrosa.

The stiffness of the LC pressure-strain response was greater in diagnosed glaucoma eyes and varied with glaucomatous axon damage.

Measuring Deformation in the Mouse Optic Nerve Head and Peripapillary Sclera.

The explant inflation test measures the strain response of the mouse ONH to applied IOP. Initial studies indicate regional differences in response to both acute and chronic IOP elevation within the ONH region.
