Indentation and needle insertion properties of the human eye
Abstract
PurposeCharacterization of the biomechanical properties of the human eye has a number of potential utilities. One novel purpose is to provide the basis for development of suitable tissue-mimicking material. The purpose of this study was to determine the indentation and needle insertion characteristics on human eye globes and tissue strips.MethodsAn indenter assessed the elastic response of human eye globes and tissue strips under increasing …
