摘要

Myopia alters the microstructural and biomechanical properties of the posterior sclera, which is characterized as a layered structure with potentially different inter-layer collagen fibril characteristics. Scanning acoustic microscopy (SAM) has been used to investigate how the micron-scale bulk mechanical properties of the posterior sclera are affected by myopia. Other investigators have employed second harmonic generation (SHG) imaging to characterize the collagen microstructure of tissues. In the present study, SAM and SHG imaging were used to investigate the existence of biomechanically-distinct scleral layers and identify relationships between mechanical properties and tissue microstructure in myopic guinea pig (GP) eyes. Diffusers were worn over the right eyes of six, 1-week-old GPs for one week to induce unilateral form-deprivation myopia. GPs were euthanized, enucleated, and eyes were cryosectioned. Twelve-micron-thick adjacent vertical cryosections were scanned with SAM or SHG. SAM maps of bulk modulus, mass density, and acoustic attenuation were estimated. A fiber-extraction algorithm applied to SHG images estimated collagen fiber length, width, straightness, alignment, and number density. Results revealed that the posterior sclera may exhibit biomechanically distinct layers that are affected differently in myopia. Specifically, a layered structure was observed in the mechanical-parameter maps of control eyes that was less apparent in myopic eyes. Collagen fibers in myopic eyes had smaller diameters and were more aligned. Myopia-associated biomechanical changes were most significant in the outermost and innermost scleral layers. SAM-measured mechanical parameters were correlated with collagen fiber microstructure, particularly fiber length, alignment, and number density, which may imply the biomechanical parameters estimated from SAM measurements are related to tissue microstructure. Interestingly, some changes were greatest in more-peripheral regions, suggesting interventions to strengthen the sclera may be effective away from the optic nerve and efficacy may be achieved best when intervention is applied to the outermost layer.
