Abstract
Retinal detachment is a disorder of the eye in which a part or entire retina detaches from underlying layers. It is a medical emergency and if it is not treated, all vision may be lost. Surgery is the only way to treat retinal detachment. Pneumatic retinopexy (PR) is an office-based procedure for repairing some retinal detachment. PR has three cardinal steps: applying laser or cryopexy around all breaks to seal them, injection of gas into the vitreous cavity and appropriate head position so that the bubble closes the retinal breaks.
In this thesis, we are trying to model PR procedure and predict the behavior of intraocular gas. In general, once the gas is injected into the eye, because...
