Aqueous flow in the anterior chamber with angle-supported intraocular lens
Inserting of anterior chamber phakic intraocular lenses are emerging as a transformative option for vision correction, offering individuals with high myopia and thin corneas a safe and effective solution without compromising the natural lens. Implantation of a Z-shaped anterior chamber lens fourth generation (ZSAL-4) can change the typical flow patterns of aqueous humor. To study this flow patterns, we utilized advanced computational fluid dynamics using Ansys Fluent. This method originated as a novel approach to measuring fluid flow and comprehending the complex mechanics of human eye. This research displays the effect of anterior chamber depth and White to White on velocity, pressure, wall shear stress, skin friction coefficient, strain rate, stream function, and pathlines.
