摘要
With aging the ability of the crystalline lens to adapt to different viewing distances decreases. Until now there is no satisfying treatment available. It is possible to influence the deformability of the crystalline lens by inducing cuts using femtosecond (fs)-laser. To test the influence of several different cutting geometries is expensive and a huge amount of crystalline lenses is needed. Finit Element Method offers the possibility to test the influence of different cutting geometries on the flexibility. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method to simulate the cuts in an adequate way. In first simulations cuts were assumed to be isotropic inter layers. Later on, effective material properties for the inter layer were calculated with a homogenization technique. The results confirm the influence of the cuts on the flexibility.
