  • Abstract
    A novel approach for post-surgical evaluation of clear corneal incision quality is presented. The complete volumetric information of an ex-vivo bovine cornea with incision and suture is obtained by high-resolution Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography and illustrated by various computer graphics technologies. This method provides more comprehensive information to evaluate surgery quality and monitor the healing process.
