- Keratoconus is a corneal disease affecting 1 in 3,000 to 1 in 10,000 people, causing weakening and shape changes in the cornea, with its causes largely unknown.* -
- Advancements in computerized corneal topography have spurred interest in understanding the Q value, a crucial parameter representing the cornea's aspheric shape and influencing optical properties.* -
- This study emphasizes the importance of the corneal Q value for personalized treatment in refractive surgeries and intraocular lens implantation, particularly for patients with conditions like cataracts or brain tumors.*
Background: The prosthetic foot is an essential component of the prosthetic limb used by people who suffer from amputation. The prosthetic foot or limb is expensive in developing countries and cannot be used by most people with special needs.
Objective: In this study, an uncomplicated prosthetic foot is designed that can be manufactured at low costs using 3D printer technology and can be provided to a wide range of amputees.
