Although most people rarely think of the eye as a mechanical structure, forces and deformations play a central role in vision. Abnormal connective tissue architecture, and altered mechanical behavior of ocular tissues can compromise vision and lead to blindness. Unfortunately, for many eye conditions, the mechanisms underlying vision loss and the role of mechanics are still not completely understood, which complicates prevention and treatment. This is, in large part, due to the difficulty of assessing … Continue reading Seminar Information (2018-10-26)
