If you have a question about this talk, please contact David Smith. Please note the unusual venue In health, the eye grows during childhood to position the retina at the correct distance behind the lens to enable focused vision, via a process called emmetropization. Animal studies have demonstrated that this growth process is dependent upon visual stimuli. However, a clear understanding of how visual stimuli govern eye growth during human development has not yet been achieved. In response to this problem, we develop a morphoelastic model of an eye growing under intraocular pressure in response to visual stimuli. We treat the sclera as a thin, axisymmetric, hyperelastic shell which undergoes local growth. The model provides a tractable framework in which to test emmetropization hypotheses.
