In Vivo Noninvasive Measurement of Young's Modulus of Elasticity in Human Eyes: A Feasibility Study

Abnormal ocular biomechanical properties may be important for understanding the risk of glaucoma. However, there are no clinical methods for measuring standard material properties in patients. In this feasibility study we demonstrated proof-of-principle for a novel method, ultrasound surface wave el...
