pubmed-article:17281680 | pubmed:abstractText | Objective: To qualify the mechanical properties of the iris during its passive deformation under the condition of glaucoma. Material and Methods: Experiments simulating the total pupillary block was performed on isolated rabbit irises to determine the passive mechanical behavior of the intact iris. Results: The relationship between the area strain(delta) and the pressure of posterior chamber relative to the anterior chamber(P') was obtained: (P1) was obtained P'+b eb1 delta. | lld:pubmed |
