Biomechanical Simulation of Stress Concentration and Intraocular Pressure in Corneas Subjected to Myopic Refractive Surgical Procedures. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 AbstractRecent advances in the analysis of corneal biomechanical properties remain difficult to predict the structural stability before and after refractive surgery. In this regard, we applied the finite element method (FEM) to determine the roles of the Bowman’s membrane, stroma, and Descemet’s membrane in the hoop stresses of cornea, under tension ...
