Advanced Imaging and Simulation Tools for Personalized Corneal Disease Assessment and Surgery
Simulations based on patient-specific inputs have the potential to drive major advances in personalized medicine. However, important gaps persist that must be addressed before simulation-based engineering can be fully leveraged in the treatment of corneal and refractive disorders. These include development of clinical tools for biomechanical characterization, integration of measurement and simulation systems, and model validation and verification. In this Bioengineering Research Grant, we will address each of these challenges by the following specific aims: Aim 1. Develop optical coherence elastography (OCE) for 3D characterization of heterogenous corneal biomechanical properties. In this…
