Optical coherence tomography measurements of the fresh porcine eye and response of the outer coats of the eye to volume increase

This paper is the first piece of research to use Optical Coherence Tomography on the eyeball to measure ocular biometry and to use this in a pressure vessel model to calculate the elastic moduli of the cornea and sclera. It showed that eyeball thickness variations in a fresh sample can be measured to a high level of accuracy. Rheological properties of fresh eyes are very difficult to measure with accuracy. This paper has wide reach because it has provided a novel means of making such measurements; its significance is in potential applications for design of instrumentation to measure intraocular pressure.
