Abstract:Background: To describe the fluid flow in the chamber of the eye during bimanual and coaxial phacoemulsification using computational fluid dynamics.
Methods: Based on the human eye, a computerized eye model was developed. The fluid flow was modeled using the Navier–Stokes formula, turbulence modeling, and Boolean operations numerically. Several parameters of the flow field were evaluated and compared for both phacoemulsification methods.
Results: Bimanual cataract surgery produced better followability than co… Show more
