Quantifying the Microstructure of Human Sclera Using Small Angle Light Scattering Available to Purchase

The role of mechanical forces in the progression of glaucoma has been suggested to be critical, especially in the region of the lamina cribrosa and optic nerve head [1,2]. However, little is known regarding the quantitative mapping of collagen fiber architecture around the scleral globe. Several experimental investigations into the biomechanical response of ocular tissue from animals [3–5] have been performed while comparatively less information is available for the response of human ocular tissue.
