Abstract :
Monte Carlo simulations of OCT images of cornea and retina was performed for various setup parameters. Several models of cornea and retina were implemented; the optical parameters or the model were chosen basing on the experimental results. Obtained simulated image exhibits qualitative agreement with the experimental ones allowing for preliminary numerical study of OCT technique for ocular structure and ophthalmologic diseases diagnostics.
