OptimEyes, a software tool for the pre-operative planning of patient-specific refractive surgeries - Enabling fast biomechanical calculations for clinical applications

Abstract (Deutsch)

A software tool has been developed to plan patient-specific refractive surgeries. This tool relies on a validated biomechanical model of the human cornea. However, calculation time remains a limiting factor, which prevents wide acceptance by the clinical community. Therefore, this project aims at a significant speed up of the overall simulation process. Different techniques will be used: i) Statistical shape models of pre-calculated results, ii) linearization of the biomechanical material law and iii) parallel computation of the finite element solution.
