Computational methods are especially attractive to study nutrient transport in the cornea due to the difficulties associated with in vivo or in vitro measurements. The exact parameters that dictate the corneal metabolism are not known. However, the combined analysis of oxygen and glucose distribution is valuable in order to predict the complex physiological changes that arise under intracorneal lens implantation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
