“…The research has concentrated on porcine corneas because of their close similarity with human corneas in structure and constitutive relationship (Zeng et al 2001). This work has enabled the identification of important aspects of the material properties and the determination of the significant factors that should be considered in the numerical modelling.…”

“…The uniaxial tensile tests are done using rectangular corneal strips subjected to tensile loading [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Because of the well-known limitations of this testing technique [9], it has often been used for comparative studies [3,6,10].…”

“…Because of the well-known limitations of this testing technique [9], it has often been used for comparative studies [3,6,10]. Compared to the uniaxial testing technique, inflation tests are able to better represent natural conditions of the cornea as they do not use excised samples [11,12].…”

“…Previous studies on cornea mechanics have typically employed a tensile strip method [64,3,35,45,89,86], or a more physiologically relevant inflation method [88,44,34,77]. These measurements have been used, for example, to study the efficacy of cross-linking agents as means to counteract keratoconous [86,80].…”

“…While previous work both at Sandia and in the literature [15,64,3,35,80,45,89,86], has primarily involved tensile tests of excised corneal strips, both the excision process and the uniaxial loading mode may produce results that are not physiologically meaningful. Specifically, the excision process severs off-axis collagen fibrils, and the subsequent tensile loading mode will only directly load the on-axis fibrils.…”
