Abstract

Both plastic (permanent) and hypercompliant deformation of the lamina cribrosa and anterior scleral canal wall are present in young adult monkey eyes with early experimental glaucoma. These findings suggest that damage to the ONH connective tissues occurs early in the monkey model of experimental glaucoma.
