17.3 Methodology
17.3.1 Numerical Models
In this chapter, we use three detailed, anatomically realistic 3D models of the human eye,
which correspond to the geometrical dimensions of Table17.1, representing three differ-
ent age groups. In all models the circulation of the aqueous humor (AH) in the anterior
chamber is taken into account, together with blood perfusion and metabolic heat genera-
tion in the rest of the eye tissues, as in the nite element model (FEM) model presented
in Karampatzakis and Samaras (2010). The modeled regions of the eye include the cornea,
the anterior chamber, the ir
