Fig. (5) Computer modeling of intrastromal electrodes. Top: Progress of the temperature profiles (assessed on the electrode axis) for an intrastromal electrode made of stainless steel (each plot represents a time step of 10 ms). Bottom: Temperature profiles at 100 ms for intrastromal electrodes with different thermal conductivity values. Note that electrodes with low thermal conductivity can remove the heat generated at the electrode tip more efficiently. All the simulations were conducted by applying a constant voltage of 10 V and the electrode tip was located at a depth of 450 µm in the cornea [41].
