The mechanical properties of the rabbit and human cornea
Open accessAbstract
The extensibility of rabbit and human corneas was measured by raising the pressure within the intact globe of the eye and measuring the displacements of two very small mercury drops on the corneal surface. The human cornea showed a negligible extensibility under low stresses. The rabbit tissue, however, underwent a 9% strain under low pressures with a curvilinear relationship between stress and strain. At higher pressures the relationship was linear, and the tissue showed some creep. The low pressure stress-strain relationship of the rabbit could not be explained on the basis that the collagen fibrils were being straightened out from an initial set in a sinusoidal wave. When the stroma was isolated from Descemet's membrane, it showed a negligible low pressure extensibility in rabbit and man. On the other hand, isolated Descemet's membrane was very extensible in both species. The difference between them in the behavior of the intact cornea seems to lie in the relative initial strain in the stroma and Descemet's membrane.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
