Abstract
Purpose. The biomechanical environment within the optic nerve head (ONH) may play a role in retinal ganglion cell loss in glaucomatous optic neuropathy. This was a systematic analysis in which finite element methods were used to determine which anatomic and biomechanical factors most influenced the biomechanical response of the ONH to acute changes in IOP.Keywords
