Abstract Viscoelastic response of intact human cornea subjected to physiological intraocular pressure was determined from local deformations measured by a flying spot micrometer. One eye of a paired specimen was prepressurized at 15 mmHg for at least 8 hr while the other eye was left unpressurized before testing. Test results of five paired eyes showed that, in prepressurized enucleated eyes, the viscoelastic response was insignificant while significant viscoelastic response existed in the nonpressurized eyes. The latter viscoelastic properties were characterized by a five-element linear viscoelastic model and a nonlinear hereditary integral by Fung.
