The viscoelastic response of bovine corneas was characterized using in vilro load-controlled uniaxial tension experiments. Specifically, two types of tests were employed: cycled ramp tests over a range of loading rates and creep tests over a range of hold stresses. Multiple replicates of each were used to quantify natural variability as well as mean trends. A preconditioning protocol was used to obtain a unique reference state before testing and to overcome the effects of non-physiological loading. A quasi-linear viscoelastic model incorporating a representation of the microstructure of the cornea was compared to the experimental results. For low stresses and moderate durations this model compares favorably, but overall the material displays non-linearities that cannot be represented within the quasi-linear framework.
