Computer modelling of eye response and adaptation to new contact lenses

Contact lenses play a crucial role in ocular biomechanics and tear film stability, directly affecting corneal health and wearer comfort, particularly for individuals with presbyopia condition. Understanding the interaction between contact lenses, the cornea, and the tear film is essential for optimi...

Description
Summary:Contact lenses play a crucial role in ocular biomechanics and tear film stability, directly affecting corneal health and wearer comfort, particularly for individuals with presbyopia condition. Understanding the interaction between contact lenses, the cornea, and the tear film is essential for optimizing lens design and improving personalized lens selection. This dissertation aims to develop a computational eye model using a Multiphysics approach, integrating biomechanical analysis, tear film dynamics, and blinking dynamics. By combining finite element simulations with fluid-structure interaction modelling, this research provides insights into contact lens-induced stress, tear film behaviour, and eyelid forces, ultimately contributing to better contact lens performance and ocular health...
