The impact of horizontal eye movements versus intraocular pressure on optic nerve head biomechanics: A tridimensional finite element analysis study.

It has been proposed that eye movements could be related to glaucoma development. This research aimed to compare the impact of intraocular pressure (IOP) versus horizontal duction on optic nerve head (ONH) strains. Thus, a tridimensional finite element model of the eye including the three tunics of the eye, all of the meninges, and the subarachnoid space (SAS) was developed using a series of medical tests and anatomical data.
