- This paper provides an explanation of the clinically observed but little understood aging condition of presbyopia. For the first time, a numerical model combines mechanical properties from in-vivo measurements (Brillouin scattering analysis) with optical properties from in-vitro measurements (Xray Talbot interferometry). Experimental measurements were conducted at the SPring-8 synchrotron (Japan) using beam-time awarded (2014A1710, 2015A1864, 2016A1096) against intense competition. This clinically validated research attracted funding by the Royal Society (Grant No.IE160996) and culminated in an EU funded MSCA Innovative Training Network “Opto-Biomechanical Eye Research Network -OBERON” proposal number: 956720 worth 3.88M Euros (contact: barbara.pierscionek@staffs.ac.uk).
