Abstract:The eye is characterized by its complex structure and fragile material. Injuries to the eye would lead to serious visual impairment or blindness. Epidemiological study indicates that one-third of the hospitalized patients are related to eye injuries. As an effective method, numerical simulation can be used to represent the dynamic response of the ocular tissues as well as provide the mechanical conditions unavailable in any experimental methods. This paper reviews and introduces the related research literatures in the past 20 years, focusing on the application of numerical simulation of direct and indirect ocular trauma, and it' s current and future research. In general, the numerical simulation technology has become an effective method for the study of eye trauma, which can quantitatively analyze the relationship between mechanical conditions and degree of injury so as to help understand the mechanism of ocular trauma and provide more reasonable medical treatment.
