Modeling of corneal deformation under air-puff by nonlinear differential equations

Abstract

Intraocular Pressure (IOP) is a main factor for the diagnosis of glaucoma. In this report, the kinematic viscoelastic corneal models, specifically the Maxwell and the Kelvin-Voight models, of human eye ball will be proposed for determining the displacement of the cornea during the air-puff tonometry simulations and its relationship to IOP. The purpose of project is to study the influence of elasticity and viscosity to the corneal deformations under an air puff.
