Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmic optics
  • Biomedical engineering
  • Retinal imaging

Background:

  • Accurate modeling of the human eye is crucial for understanding visual optics.
  • Peripheral retinal topography influences myopia progression.
  • Existing methods may lack precision in mapping posterior retinal contours.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel methodology for deriving horizontal posterior retinal contours.
  • To utilize partial coherence interferometry (PCI) and ray tracing with corneal topography.
  • To enhance the accuracy of eye modeling for wide-field optical studies.

Main Methods:

  • Obtained corneal topography and PCI data from 55 myopic eyes across central visual field eccentricities.
  • Developed a semicustomized eye model using subject-specific corneal data and the Navarro model.
  • Computed optical path length and vitreous chamber depth, fitting conic curves to derive retinal contours.

Main Results:

  • A semicustomized eye model significantly reduces retinal sagitta estimation errors compared to standard models.
  • Lens model variations introduce minimal errors (tens of micrometers).
  • Identified nasal-temporal asymmetry in retinal contours, with greater nasal vitreous chamber depth.

Conclusions:

  • The combined use of semicustomized eye models and PCI enables precise retinal contour prediction (within tenths of micrometers).
  • This methodology is valuable for myopia progression research and wide-field eye optics modeling.
  • Accurate retinal contour data aids in understanding peripheral retinal effects on vision.
