HYBRID PORCINE/PLASTIC MODEL<br />

6Chapter<br />

Chapter 6 - Hybrid Porcine/Plastic Model<br />

for the study of the back surface of the<br />

cornea<br />

This chapter is based on the ARVO 2009 poster presentation by<br />

Laura Remón et al. “Validation of Posterior Cornea Quantitative<br />

Scheimpflug Imaging Using a Hybrid Porcine/Plastic Model”<br />

(Remon et al., 2009). This corneal model can be used for the study<br />

of biometric measurements of the cornea. This chapter describes the<br />

model itself, <strong>and</strong> its particular use for the validation of the Pentacam<br />

Scheimpflug imaging system in the measurement of the post-corneal<br />

surface shape.<br />

The main contribution of Carlos Dorronsoro was the design of the<br />

Hybrid Porcine/Plastic Model <strong>and</strong> its experimental development,<br />

<strong>and</strong> participation in the design of the experiments, technical support<br />

during the measurements, <strong>and</strong> analysis of the data.<br />

Coauthors of the study are Laura Remón, Sabine Kling, Jesús<br />

Merayo-Lloves, <strong>and</strong> Susana Marcos.<br />
