Abstract
When characterising biomechanical behaviour of soft biological tissue, it is often desirable to subject the same sample to repeated mechanical tests. However, it is well known that strain history can have a compounding effect on subsequent viscoelastic response of the tissue. Various protocols have been employed by researchers when characterising ocular biomechanics resulting in a wide variation in the reported behaviour. While removing strain history is desirable when the intention is to isolate specific behaviour characteristics, it is also important to understand its contribution to subsequent stress-strain scenarios. In this study, we assess the effect of recovery time on the viscoelastic behaviour of the cornea and sclera using uniaxial tensile testing.
