The mathematical modelling of human eyes - a PHD study

Anterior chamber flow, the solid mechanics of tonometry, the effects of scleral buckle surgery and the mechanics of retinal detachment are all discussed. Finally, a number of other eye problems that are amenable to a theoretical mechanics treatment are proposed.

Abstract

We illustrate how a range of fluid and solid mechanics problems relevant to the human eye have been combined in a continuing Ph.D study. Anterior chamber flow, the solid mechanics of tonometry, the effects of scleral buckle surgery and the mechanics of retinal detachment are all discussed. Finally, a number of other eye problems that are amenable to a theoretical mechanics treatment are proposed.
