Abstract :
It¿s very significative to get the numerical prediction of the biomechanical response of eyeball to increased IOP. In this study, a geometry model of eyeball with 3-layers wall and optic nerve was built firstly; then, meshing and physical property was applied on it to get physical model; finally, the increase of IOP was simulated on it. The results of simulation experiment validate this model and the feasibility of this method. Based on this, more complex and individual model of human eyeball can be built.
