Figure 3. Stress resultant – strain
of Aca23, age-matched WT, and younger WT in two different
regions and in two different directions. Graph of stress
resultants and strains in Aca23 (black), age-matched WT (blue)
and younger WT (red) eyes from inflation testing. Data were
analyzed from region 2–3 in the circumferential direction (A)
and the meridional direction (B). Likewise, data were
analyzed from region 4 in the circumferential direction (C)
and the meridional direction (D). In region 2–3, the
Aca23 eyes had significantly lower strain than age-matched and
younger WT at several pressure levels in the circumferential and
meridional directions. In Region 4, the Aca23 eyes showed
significantly lower strain than both WT groups in the
circumferential, but not the meridional direction. For
statistical analysis, please see Results.
