Analysis of the viscoelastic properties of the human cornea using Scheimpflug imaging in inflation experiment of eye globes.

PURPOSE: To demonstrate a Scheimpflug-based imaging procedure for investigating the depth- and time-dependent strain response of the human cornea to inflation testing of whole eye globes. METHODS: Six specimens, three of which with intact corneal epithelium, were mounted in a customized apparatus wi...
