Figure 2

Visualization of modelling results. A: 3D quarter section view of finite element mesh on which the model is solved. Points of reference are labelled on these diagrams, (Ap) Anterior pole, (Pp) Posterior pole and (Eq) the equator. B: Rotated view of (A) with the quarter-view facing out to illustrate how 2D plots of radial voltage and concentration gradients and circumferential surface plots of current density were extracted from the 3D model. Values for voltage and concentration were plotted against normalised lens radius (r/a) where 0 indicates the core and 1 the lens periphery. Surface currents were plotted against the angle from the equator, with the equator defined as 0, the posterior and anterior poles were –PI/2 and PI/2 radians, respectively.
