Mathematical model of the rotation of cornea

The aim of our study is to informatise the procedure, ie, design the computer system and software necessary to automatically define the parameters of our problem. To achieve this, we have used an image analyser which permits us to acquire and digitalise a photograph of the lesioned cornea. Digitalisation of the image allows us to determine the co-ordinates (x, y) of the points which lie on the lesion periphery as well as the co-ordinates of the corneal centre, ie, geometric centre of the cornea. One calculates the centre of trephination and the optimal diameter of trephination as a function of a point situated on the lesion edge.
