Characterization of Femtosecond Laser and Porcine Crystalline Lens . . . We report here on the dedicated characterization results of the laser–tissue interaction zone in the ex vivo porcine lens using three different methods: in situ and real-time microscopy, wide-field optical imaging, and phase-contrast microscopy of the histological cross sections
The mechanical response of the porcine lens to a spinning test The pig lens has been used as a model for presbyopia as pigs lack accommodative ability Previous studies using microindentation have indicated that the shear modulus distribution is qualitatively similar to that of the aged human lens and that the lens does not alter its refractive power due to equ …
Optical and biometric relationships of the isolated pig crystalline lens Results: Linear relationships were identi®ed between many of the lens biometric and optical properties The existence of these relationships allowed a simple geometrical model of the pig lens to be calculated which offers predictions of the optical properties
Pig Eyes in Research: Transforming Science and Learning Pig eyes are used in toxicology studies to assess the safety of chemicals, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals Ex vivo models using pig eyes provide reliable data without the use of live animals Researchers used pig eyes as a means to test pure benzyl-Brilliant Blue G (PBB) for use in retinal surgery
(PDF) The parameters of the porcine eyeball - ResearchGate Anteroposterior axial length and corneal radius, astigmatism, vertical and horizontal diameter, and pachymetry (slit-scan and ultrasound) were measured in five enucleated pig eyes of animals 6 to
Optical and biometric relationships of the isolated pig crystalline lens That the discrepancy between the paraxial and the total focal lengths of the pig lenses is real is evident from the aberrations of the pig lenses Based on the spherical aberration plots, some lenses do not have conventional spherical aberration, but have higher order aberrations
The parameters of the porcine eyeball | Graefes Archive for Clinical . . . Lens Some pig lens proteins (α-crystallin and β-crystallin) show the same protein sequence found in human crystallin proteins The anterior radius of the human lens is 10 mm, and the posterior radius is 6 mm, with a central lens thickness of 4 mm These radiuses are smaller than those of the porcine eye
Pig Models in Retinal Research and Retinal Disease - PubMed Although the pig is used to explore diseases of the cornea and lens, this review focuses on how and why the pig, as a large animal model, is useful for research in neural retinal disease and its treatment
Porcine Ophthalmology - Veterinary Clinics: Food Animal Practice Pig eyes share many similarities with human eyes, having a holangiotic retinal vasculature, no tapetum, cone photoreceptors in the outer retina, and a similar scleral thickness, rendering them valuable in comparative research
