Abstract
We consider application of optical coherence elastography (OCE) to problems of laser-assisted structural modification/reshaping of avascular collagenous tissues used for fabrication of cartilaginous implants and corneal tissue reshaping for perspective technologies of vision-correction. The developed OCE technique allows one to quantitatively visualize aperiodic strains during the IR-laser irradiation of the tissue samples and evaluate cumulative strains produced by the laser irradiations. OCE can assess stability of laser-modeled implants via monitoring of post-irradiation slow strains and to study the interplay of temperature and thermal stresses to optimize tissue reshaping. Irradiation-induced micro-porosity in the tissue can be assessed via combination of strain mapping with compressional optical elastography.
