A review of structural and biomechanical changes in the cornea in aging, disease, and photochemical crosslinking
The study of corneal biomechanics is motivated by the tight relationship between
biomechanical properties and visual function within the ocular system. For instance …

Biomechanical modeling of refractive corneal surgery
The aim of refractive corneal surgery is to modify the curvature of the cornea to improve its
dioptric properties. With that goal, the surgeon has to define the appropriate values of the …

A nonlinear finite element model of the eye with experimental validation for the prediction of globe rupture
Over 2.4 million eye injuries occur each year in the US, with over 30,000 patients left blind
as a result of the trauma. The majority of these injuries occur in automobile crashes, military …
