Complexity of crystalline lens wobbling investigated by means of combined mechanical and optical simulations

Abstract

Crystalline lens wobbling is a phenomenon when the lens oscillates briefly from its normal position immediately after stopping the rotational movement of the eye globe. It can be observed by means of Purkinje imaging. The aim of this research is to present the data and computation workflow that involve both biomechanical and optical simulations that can mimic this effect, aimed to better understanding of lens wobbling. The methodology described in the study allows to visualize both the dynamic changes of the lens conformation within the eye and its optical effect in terms of Purkinje performance.
