Reduced order modelling of air‐puff test for corneal material characterisation
Abstract Models of the fluid–structure interaction (FSI) model for the air‐puff test were analysed. Using Abaqus, the air‐puff test is applied to eyes with varying biomechanical parameters, such as material properties, corneal thickness, and radius.

Laboratory studies show KS has electroconductive properties with the ability to trap and transport protons in neurotransductive processes (Grotthuss proton shuttling). This maintains electrochemical gradients and fluxes at the neuronal cell surface in neural activation. Such processes are central to neuronal cell signaling and communication.
