Comparison of mechanical properties of keratoconus and normal corneas

In order to measure more directly the physical properties of the corneoscleral shell in keratoconus, mechanical stress-strain tests were performed on strips of human cornea. Rectangular human corneal samples were glued to the arms of an extensiometer, a technique that avoids the problems of slippage...
