Displacement profile for 3 locations in the lateral extrastriola (LES) along the LM transect of the CV3D OM (Utricle) model. This figure illustrates the displacement profile of the GL and CFL for 3 discrete locations (0,40, and 81 microns from the lateral edge) in the LES. In the LES, displacement profiles arise in the CFL that depart from the linear profile observed throughout the interior region. These displacement profiles indicate that proximity to the lateral edge is not the only mechanism to disrupt the linear deformation profiles in this region. Additional suspected causes for this disruption are the thinning OL in this region and an increased curvature of the macular surface.
