New paper: A deep look into animated eyes
We have been surrounded by animated characters all our lives. Aesthetically, the facial features of these characters tend to be simplified to allow conveying the same basic emotions easily portrayed by human actors. Eyes play a major role in these expressions, which consequently has led artists to …
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: Reappraisal of the historical myopia epidemic in native Arctic communities
In the 1950’s Indigenous Arctic communities saw a spectacular rise in myopia prevalence, which was attributed to changes in their way of life and the introduction of formal education. Children were forced to attend ‘residential schools’ in an aggressive program of deculturalization, where they exp…
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, …
