文摘
- •
Effects of aqueous humor hydrodynamics on human eye heat transfer under external heating are examined.
- •
Natural convection of aqueous humor induces break in the otherwise symmetrical thermal profile.
- •
Natural convection contributes to almost 95% of the overall heat transfer inside the anterior chamber.
- •
Natural convection causes an upward shift in the hotspot location.
- •
This has significant consequences to thermal-induced cataractogenesis.
