This is a representative ongoing study in our lab. We use multispectral photoacoustic imaging to resolve the anatomy of tissue components, i.e. aqueous veins and surrounding perilimbal sclera. We manipulate a mechanical variable, i.e. intraocular pressure, to induce deformation of the tissue components. The deformation of each component is quantified from the images. These quantitative measurements assist in understanding the biomechanical characteristics of the tissue components, their interactions, and roles in disease, which is glaucoma in this case.
