Figure 1  .

Simulated airbag impact on cornea at three different impacting velocities, 20.0 m/s (A), 30.0 m/s (B), and 40.0 (C) m/s. Results of strain in the case of four incision radial keratotomy are displayed. Bar indicates strain. Corneal rupture is very likely at an impact velocity of 40.0 m/s.
