Biomechanics of the Cornea

Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to provide an applicable and easy-to-use mathematical model of the biomechanics of the cornea. The new spherical dome model considers not only the heterogeneity of the tunica of the eye and distinguishes structurally between cornea, limbus and sclera. It also implements the structural anisotropy inside the corneal stroma caused by the corneas lamellar structure as well as the asphericity of the corneal shape. How to cite this article Daxer A. Biomechanics of the Cornea. Int J Kerat Ect Cor Dis 2014;3(2):57-62.
