Description
Cameron Czerpak and co-authors measure how the eye's drainage tissue stretches when pressure inside the eye rises, in work from 2024. The lamina cribrosa, a sieve-like structure where the optic nerve exits, is a suspected weak point in glaucoma.
Thirty-nine people, healthy controls and glaucoma patients, wore swim goggles that raised eye pressure by about 7 millimeters of mercury while scans were taken. In glaucoma eyes, the tissue compressed along its axis and strained most near its rim, measurable twenty minutes after the pressure rose. Some stretch responses were larger in eyes with worse visual field loss. The results support tissue strain as a marker of glaucoma damage.
