Abstract :
This paper presents novel details on the dynamic behavior of human eyes. A high speed camera is used to capture the movement of the eye surface, which is excited by an air jet. For one group of subjects the dynamic response of the eyes ends shortly after the air jet stops. For another group of subjects a distinct offset in the displacement remains, which takes a significantly longer time to vanish. The two distinct phases in the eye movement are the result of the dynamic response of the cornea and the total eye, respectively. A deeper understanding of the eye dynamics is important for obtaining a higher reliability of diagnostic tools for glaucoma
