Computerised iris reproduction

The nature of this work involves developing a new method of artificial eye construction for people who have lost eyes due to trauma, disease or congenital deformity. It investigates the feasibility of using digital technology to reproduce a human iris, that accurately conforms to the patient's remaining eye, and to standardise the production of artificial eye prosthesis construction whilst providing a natural exact replica of the remaining eye.
