Human Eye: On the Importance of Novel Procedures and Devices based on Integrated Engineering-Medical Data

Research activities in the field of ophthalmology are becoming more and more important, since a number of issues related to the complex physical phenomena occurring inside the eye must be addressed. Different coupled physical mechanisms need to be studied, such as biological processes, heat and mass transfer, interaction with porous media, fluid structure interaction and others. Surgeries on human eyes can be optimized thanks to the improvement of knowledge, based on scientific research findings. The practical consequence is that post-operative complications can be reduced, with increase of life quality.
