New paper: Generalised models of the vertebrate eye

The eyes of most vertebrates are very similar to our own in their general layout, even if their proportions can be rather different. Our latest model describes all of these eyes, and even those of cephalopods 🦑, as a set of closed form equations.

Check out the paper "Generalised models of …

New paper: Assessing the visual image quality provided by refractive corrections during keratoconus progression

This works assesses the visual image quality of keratoconic eyes corrected by means of sphero-cylindrical spectacles and rigid contact lenses as keratoconus progresses. Overall, the results reflect the clinical experience that subjective refraction is challenging in highly-aberrated keratoconic eye…

New paper: Modeling refractive correction strategies in keratoconus

It is challenging to find the optimal spectacle correction for a keratoconic eye. To assess this problem in detail, the SyntEys KTC model was fitted all possible spherocylindrical corrections within the range of a phoropter, each time determining the visual image quality. This demonstrated that the…

New paper: Influence of the eye globe design on biomechanical analysis

In vivo biomechanical analyses of the anterior segment often only consider a simplified layout of the eye, without much consideration for the mechanical contributions of the inner eye components on the corneal deformation.Through finite element analysis, this work demonstrates that the lens, iris, …

New paper: Analysing the ocular biometry if new-born infants

During emmetropization the growth of the ocular components is coordinated to accomplish reach (near-) emmetropia around the age of 5. This is facilitated by the spectacular ocular growth rate during the first years of life, with an axial length increase nearly as large in the first year of life as …
