To fully understand the visual defects in a patient's vision, a 3D model of the eye is needed, which current ophthalmic techniques cannot give. We present a method, using high-field MRI and subsequent image processing, to automatically construct patient-specific eye-models with high accuracy. We have examined 21 eyes, of which 10 patients with mild to severe myopia. The resulting eye-models show an increased retinal curvature in the myopic group compared to the subjects with healthy eyes.
