Keratoconus prediction using a finite element model of the cornea with local biomechanical properties Propriedades biomecânicas locais em uma córnea modelada usando elementos finitos prevê surgimento de ceratocone
PURPOSE: The ability to predict and understand which biomechanical properties of the cornea are responsible for the stability or progression of keratoconus may be an important clinical and surgical tool for the eye-care professional. We have developed a finite element model of the cornea, that tries...
