Preliminary Investigation of the Mechanical Anisotropy of the Normal Human Corneal Stroma.

Conclusions: The biomechanical behavior in normal human corneal stroma tissue is slightly stiffer in the vertical direction than in the horizontal direction. This information may aid our understanding of the biomechanical properties of the cornea and related diseases. PMID: 30416826 [PubMed]
