The proposed research is suitable for an SGER, due to its interdisciplinary nature, involving applications of geometric modeling and scientific visualization to provide improved representation and display techniques for the cornea. The application has the potential of revolutionizing the field of optometry. Instead of the current trial-and-error method of fitting contact lenses a much faster and precise procedure can be developed. Furthermore, it will enable fitting contact lenses to people whose corneas have complex and/or irregular shapes, something which is impossible with the current state of the art. A successful completion of the project may induce the manufacturers of contact lenses to embark on a development effort, but at present they don't have the financial incentive to take the risk. Thus the small investment in this project can have significant impact. The PI is highly qualified and is strongly motivated, due to a personal vision problem. I recommend funding.

拟议的研究是适合的SGER，由于其跨学科的性质，涉及几何建模和科学可视化的应用，以提供改进的表示和显示技术的角膜。 该应用程序有可能彻底改变验光领域。 代替目前的试错法的拟合隐形眼镜的一个更快和精确的程序可以开发。 此外，它将使适合隐形眼镜的人，角膜有复杂和/或不规则的形状，这是不可能的，与目前的技术水平。该项目的成功完成可能会促使隐形眼镜制造商着手开发工作，但目前他们没有经济动机承担风险。 因此，该项目的小投资可能会产生重大影响。 由于个人视力问题，PI是高素质的，具有强烈的动力。 我建议提供资金。
