    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanical Engineering
    • Ophthalmology
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Understanding the mechanical properties of the eye is crucial for diagnosing and managing various ocular conditions.
    • Existing models often lack comprehensive theoretical underpinnings for predicting eye behavior across different refractive errors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To derive basic closed-form theoretical results for stress-strain, pressure-volume, and ocular rigidity-pressure functions in a spherically symmetric eye.
    • To establish a theoretical framework applicable to emmetropic, hyperopic, and myopic eyes.
    • To validate theoretical predictions against experimental data and explore clinical applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of theoretical models for a spherically symmetric eye with constant thickness and material properties.

  • Derivation of closed-form equations relating key biomechanical functions: stress-strain (sigma(epsilon)), pressure-volume (p(V)), and ocular rigidity-pressure (K(p)).
  • Comparison of theoretical predictions with eight experimental studies from the literature.

    • Main Results:

    • Theoretical results accurately predict pressure-volume and ocular rigidity behavior for emmetropic, hyperopic, and myopic eyes.
    • Five experimentally obtained mechanical variables (constants A, alpha, a, b, and ocular rigidity K) agreed with theoretical predictions within a factor of 3.
    • Demonstrated the ability to infer corneo-scleral shell mechanical strength by measuring ocular rigidity function K(p, Vo).

    Conclusions:

    • The derived theoretical models provide a robust framework for understanding eye biomechanics across different refractive states.
    • The findings support potential clinical applications in inferring ocular mechanical strength and understanding glaucoma dynamics.
    • Results may aid in tonometer calibration and provide insights into the relationship between refraction and ocular health.
