Scleral biomechanics in the aging monkey eye

To investigate the age-related differences in the inhomogeneous, anisotropic, nonlinear biomechanical properties of posterior sclera from old (22.9 +/- 5.3 years) and young (1.5 +/- 0.7 years) rhesus monkeys. The posterior scleral shell of each eye was mounted on a custom-built pressurization appara...
