A study of the stress-strain-time properties of the cornea as evidenced by uniaxial tensile tests is presented. Stresses were applied using dead weight loads, and the resulting strains were recorded by means of photomicrography. For the physiological range of stress the mechanical properties are nearly linear, whereas non-linearity predominates over an extended range. Anisotropy considerations indicate that the mechanical properties are not a function of angular orientation, which supports theories of random orientation of the stromal fibers. The response of the cornea to an applied stress includes instantaneous and retarded (time dependent) elastic components.
