Modeling of the temperature field under thermal action on the anterior segment of the human eyeball

Abstract

Objective. The aim of the study is to develop a mathematical model for determining the temperature field of a human eyeball under thermal influence on its anterior segment.Method. A mathematical model has been developed to determine the temperature field of a human eyeball when exposed to its anterior segment.Result. The temperature dependences of characteristic points inside the eyeball on time during cyclic exposure to heat flow on the anterior segment are obtained, as well as graphs of temperature distribution along the optical axis of the eyeball when applying heat flow.Conclusion. The developed mathematical model allows us to take into account the thermophysical characteristics of all the main structures of the human eye, and also shows the effectiveness of temperature massage of the ciliary body and lens.
