I am an Eye Surgeon with visual optics interests.
You probably know that in Excimer laser refractive surgery (known as LASIK), we reshape the anterior surface of the eye (cornea) to modify its refractive power into a desired target.
Simplified, eye has two thick lenses and two distances (between the lenses and from the distal lens to the retina). But this arrangement is far more complex. One its complexities lie in non-coaxialities of the reference axes of the lenses, retinal center & its diaphragm (the pupil).
Complexities are reflected on the anterior corneal surface as multiple reference points: vertex, pupil centroid equivalent & many more like geometrical center and apex.
For the purpose of this discussion, there is still serious controversy as to which of the points of 'vertex' or 'centroid' should be chosen for the laser centration.
I have some ideas to address this remarkable debate in ophthalmology and want to know if simulation n modeling thru Zemax can help solving this issue?
Dear Seyed-Farzad, perhaps you might read about my eye model which is an up-to-date accurate one based on anatomically parameters. I considered a non-centered ocular surfaces, as well as single GRIN crystalline lens, all parameters varying with aging.
The published papers are available from my ResearchGate profile, of course if you need any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Some simple studies were performed by us in the past on refractive surgery with ZEMAX, but by using a more simple model. I am sure that improvements can be achieved with more anatomically accurate eye models as I pointed above.
Regards, José Antonio
Thank you. But there was just a blank link of dataset. Please kindly send your published work.
I think you have looked at the wrong link.
Anyway, I am attaching the relevant files which could be of your interest.
Hope these help you.
