The optic nerve is a viscoelastic solid-like biomaterial. Its normal stress relaxation and creep properties enable the nerve to resist constant strain and protect it from injury. We hypothesized that stress relaxation and creep properties of the optic nerve change after injury.

- Treatment options like brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and human umbilical cord blood stem cells show promising progress for optic nerve injuries.
- A study on rabbit models demonstrated that after receiving these treatments, specific biomechanical indicators like maximum load and stress significantly improved over 30 days.
- The results indicate that both BDNF and stem cells can help repair optic nerve damage and enhance recovery by improving the nerve's structural integrity.
