Title
Ocular surface temperature: A 3D FEM prediction using bioheat equation
Abstract
Computational and mathematical human eye models from previous studies which were constructed in two-dimensions (2D) did not give a precise representation of the actual human eye. This work is an extension from an earlier published work on the 2D model. In this paper, a 3D FEM model of the human eye is simulated for the steady state temperature distribution during normal condition and during electromagnetic (EM) wave radiation. Results show a discrepancy of 0.49% for a normal condition as opposed to 1.9% of a 2D model when compared to experimental results from open literatures. Investigations on the EM wave radiations found an average power absorption density of 15,151 and 22,145 Wm(-3) for the 750 and 1500 MHz radiation, respectively. A peak temperature of 38.18( composite function)C was predicted for the 750 MHz radiation while 41.19( composite function)C was computed for the 1500 MHz radiation. These temperatures are in reasonable agreement with the simulated results computed by another report in the past.
