"Calculated by Bernstein from the expectations that the average dimension of the human eye is 22 mm from anterior to posterior poles, and that 72% of the inside of the globe is retina (Michels, R.G., Wilkinson, C.P. and Rice, T.A. (1990) Retinal detachment. p 17. The C.V. Mosby Company.) Globe (or sphere) surface area=4pr^2=4p(11)^2=1521mm^2, 0.72×1521=1095mm^2" |
