The influence of various external parameters on the mechanical properties of the vitreous of pig eyes as characterized by a spring constant D₀ and a friction constant rz was investigated. For human donor eyes, D₀ turned out to be about 60% larger than in pig eyes, whereas the friction constant was increased by roughly 25%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
