| Information: | Biomechanics play an important role in the functioning of the eye, in both health and disease. The eye is a complex organ with its own fluid production and drainage mechanism, internal vascular system and internal and external musculature. The importance of this research area is evident from the large number of researchers worldwide, and also demonstrated by the existence of Ocular Mechanics sessions that have run for several years at the ASME Summer Bioengineering Conference and the Ocular Biomechanics Symposium at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology 2008. |
