Abstract
Most soft tissues, such as cornea and sclera, exhibit mechanical anisotropy. Obtaining the anisotropy properties of the sclera can be helpful in understanding the mechanical properties of the eyes in the development and progression of glaucoma and myopia. In this work, we have demonstrated a method of quantifying the anisotropic Young’s modulus values for sclera, using a confocal Lamb wave based acoustic radiation force optical coherence elastography (ARF-OCE). We have measured mechanical anisotropy in porcine sclera by measuring the Young’s modulus along both the equator direction and anterior to posterior direction. The results demonstrate the Young’s modus in the equator direction is 15-30% higher than that in the anterior to posterior direction.
