In general, the myopic eye was less stiff at vertical distances between 1 and 4 mm from the optic nerve head. This study suggests that the Guinea pig sclera has a layered structure with different values of K and ρ; these differences may be related to the specific collagen-network structure of each layer.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:14:54 AEST ]]>
