Whole Vitreous Humor Dissection for Vitreodynamic Analysis
Published on: May 24, 2015
Mechanical problems associated with the cutting of vitreous
Abstract:
The properties of the vitreous are considered from the standpoint of the physicist and engineer and the difficulties of its cutting and manipulation considered. The principles underlying existing instruments for use in the vitreous cavity are examined and a series of new instruments is described and illustrated.

Glaucoma: Overview
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...
Focusing of Light in the Eye
Light rays enter the eye through the cornea, a transparent dome-shaped tissue that is the eye's outermost layer. The cornea bends or refracts, light rays traveling to the pupil. The shape of the cornea determines how much of the light is bent and whether the image will be focused correctly on the retina at the back of the eye. Once the light has passed through both refraction layers, it converges into a single focal point onto a small area. This is where photoreceptors start transforming...
