The paper develops a mathematical model describing the behavior of the human cornea affected by intraocular pressure and external factors. The relevance of the study stems, particularly, from the urgent ophthalmological problems of hyperopia treatment. An effective remedy for hyperopia treatment is laser vision correction consisting in cornea deformation. The mathematical model enables the condition of the cornea after surgery to be estimated. The proposed model is based on the calculation of the cornea stress-strain state via the solution of a boundary value problem of elastostatics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
