Stress–Strain Index Map: A New Way to Represent Corneal Material Stiffness

Stress–Strain Index Map: A New Way to Represent Corneal Material Stiffness

PurposeTo introduce a new method to map the mechanical stiffness of healthy and keratoconic corneas.MethodsNumerical modeling based on the finite element method was used to carry out inverse analysis of simulated healthy and keratoconic corneas to determine the regional variation of mechanical stiff...
