Table 1.

The specimen-averaged strain components in the AL (n = 19) and PPS (n = 23) for control eyes, showing p-values for the comparison of AL to PPS. All of the normal strain components (E_xx, E_yy, E_rr and E_θθ) and E_max were significantly larger in the AL than PPS (p ≤ 0.0001). Mean ± std. Italics indicate significance level at p < 0.05.
