(a) Histological section of a tree shrews eye. (b) The two concentric ellipses (dashed and solid lines) used to approximate the tree shrew eye geometry (solid lines). The radii in x and y direction of both ellipses are shown. (c) A 2D view showing the scleral thickness as indicated in Table 1. (d) The axisymmetric FE mesh of a tree shrew eye at 11 DVE with zoomed views of the mesh at the corneal apex and posterior pole. Axis-symmetry was enforced by using axisymmetric boundary conditions at the two surfaces in circumferential direction. A constant IOP of 15 mmHg was applied to the interocular surfaces of the mesh. Axial length was calculated as the distance between points P1 and P2.
