Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 762))

Abstract

This paper examines practical constraints and problems related to modelling of the human cornea during intraocular pressure measurement using Corvis ST. It highlights the essential role of corneal deformation image processing and analysis in the field of numerical modelling. By combining these two disciplines: biomechanics, which deals with modelling the behaviour of biological structures, and image processing methods, it is possible to verify and compare the values obtained for the tested models in numerical experiments with those obtained through image analysis. In the case of a biomechanical model of the eyeball, for which no ‘gold standard’ has yet been developed, the possibility of such a comparison is particularly important and valuable.
