In the current study the eye globes (Figure 1a) were removed from the human cadavers and employed for further experimental measurements. After removing the eyes from the cadavers‚ a set of MRI/CT images were taken according to the purpose we had to have a clear image of eye components and its dimensions. The images were then used to make a FE model of the eye based on the MRI/CT data as presented in Figure 1b. Thereafter‚ in order to have a smoother FE model to be able to mesh its components‚ the
