Abstract

Hardware and software system solutions provide real-time, interactive predictive simulations of the eye (e.g., human eye or animal eye). The redictive simulations of an individual's eye canbe created using a Finite Element Model (FEM) of ocular structures involved in optical biomechanics, including ocular accommodation. Unlike previous ocular models, the present FEM described herein is a three-dimensional FEM of the accommodative mechanism, including but not limited to, the anterior human eye that simulates the action of ciliary muscle fiber contraction to predict dynamic deformation of the lens required for accommodative optic power change described herein as "Central Optical Power" (COP). The present FEM further describes the aqueous/vitreous outflow and mechanisms of fluid flow described herein as "Hydrodynamics". The virtual FEM further describes the posterior eye biomechanics that simulates the actions of the Bruch's membrane, retina, vitreous and lamina cribrosa during the action of pre-stretch, disaccommodation and accommodation of the eye.

Abstract

A method and system of treating connective tissue to alter the biomechanical and fundamental properties of the connective tissue by forming perforations in the connective tissue to at least 90% of the depth or thickness of the connective tissue and maintaining the perforations in the connective tissue. The method alters the tissue to enhance the fundamental mechanisms involved in the immunology, biochemistry, and molecular genetics of the metabolism of the connective tissue. The connective tissue may be any desired connective tissue. The connective tissue of the eye may be removed to form a first desired pattern of perforations in the connective tissue of the eye at a first distance from the corneal center of the eye. Connective tissue is removed from the eye to form a second desired pattern of perforations in the tissue of the eye at a second distance from the corneal center of the eye.
