This research aims to evaluate wave speed and viscoelasticity of ocular tissues including the optic nerve and optic nerve head of human eyes between normal tension glaucoma patients and healthy controls by using vibro-elastography techniques. Participants included 12 patients and 12 controls. Wave s...
