Regional Differences in Young’s Modulus of the Porcine Lens Capsule
These findings highlight the functional specialization of the lens capsule and the utility of AFM for high-resolution biomechanical characterization. These measurement techniques will be applied to human lens capsules to elucidate age-related changes in capsule properties pertaining to presbyopia, inform surgical strategies, lens capsule modeling, and the design of accommodative intraocular lenses.
