Jaundice Eye Color Index (JECI): quantifying the yellowness of the sclera in jaundiced neonates with digital photography

Biomedical Optics Express, 2019
The sclera is arguably a better site than the skin to measure jaundice–especially in dark-skinned patients–since it is free of skin pigment (melanin), a major confounding factor.

Quantitative structural organization of the sclera in chicks after deprivation myopia measured with second harmonic generation microscopy

Frontiers in Medicine
Visual deprivation causes enhanced eye growth and the development of myopia, which is associated with a change in the arrangement of collagen fibers within the sclera.

Adaptive Control of Sclera Force and Insertion Depth for Safe Robot-Assisted Retinal Surgery

IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2019
One of the significant challenges of moving from manual to robot-assisted retinal surgery is the loss of perception of forces applied to the sclera (sclera forces) by the surgical tools.

Estimation and rapid identification of later stages during embryonic development of the oviparous lizard Sceloporus aeneus (Squamata: Phrynosomatidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Stages of embryonic development for reptiles have been presented in tables that may include all or part of embryonic development. When oviposition occurs in some lizards, embryos are already in the later stages of development; likewise, the size of the eggs increases as incubation time progresses.
