A mathematical model was developed to describe steady state oxygen distribution in the eye, providing analytical solutions for different regions of the retinal cylinder.
Provides normalized retinal oxygen models; leaves open clinical validation before any practice implications.
A simple mathematical model for the steady state oxygen distribution in the eye has been developed. The model introduces the krogh retinal cylinder surrounded by retinal capillary.The analytical solution to the governing equations are obtained in normalized forms by employing perturbation techniques for the arterial end ,the central region and the venous end of the retinal cylinder. Solutions are obtained for each of these regions. The computational results are presented through the graphs. The effect of important parameters on the retinal capillary concentration , are examined and discussed. The results of the model may contribute when axial diffusion is important and when it can be neglected.
