Recent Advances in Quantifying Ocular Biomechanics using Optical Coherence Elastography
Kirill V. Larin, University of Houston
Abstract
The biomechanical properties of the ocular tissues can be dramatically altered by various diseases, such as keratoconus for the cornea, presbyopia for the lens, and glaucoma for the retina. Therefore, the ability to measure tissue biomechanical properties could provide critical information for assessing its health and detecting disease etiology as well as monitoring disease progression. Here, I will overview recent advances on the development of noncontact dynamic optical coherence elastography (OCE) and Brillouin techniques to evaluate the biomechanical properties of different ocular tissues.
