Abstract:Ocular rigidity in ophthalmology is generally assumed to be a measurable surrogate parameter related to the biomechanical properties of the whole globe. Clinical tonometry and tonography, as well as recently developed methods to assess the ocular pulse amplitude and pulsatile ocular blood flow and measurements with the ocular response analyzer are based on the concept of ocular rigidity. Clinical concepts of ocular rigidity describe a resulting effect without considerations of possible diverse morphology and m… Show more
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.
