Numerical stress analysis of the iris tissue induced by pupil expansion: Comparison of commercial devices

PURPOSE: (1) To use finite element (FE) modelling to estimate local iris stresses (i.e. internal forces) as a result of mechanical pupil expansion; and to (2) compare such stresses as generated from several commercially available expanders (Iris hooks, APX dilator and Malyugin ring) to determine whi...
