AbstractSEE-GRID is based on the SEE++ software for the biomechanical simulation of the

human eye. The goal of SEE-GRID is to adapt and to etend SEE++ in se!eral steps and

to de!elop an efficient grid-based tool for ""E!idence #ased $edicine%%& which supports

the surgeons to choose the best'optimal surgery techni(ues in case of the treatments of

different syndromes of strabismus. This paper consists of some speed up cur!es incase of

the calculation of the brainstem pattern wit )* points. This paper also outlines the further

de!elopment steps related to the SEE-GRID database. The last section of this paper& will

discuss and e!aluate the possible designs of grid based athology ,itting and Surgery

,itting algorithms.

Over view of SEE++ software system:

SEE++ meansSimulation Epert for Eyes +Diagnoses +Transposition Surgery.SEE++is software for the biomechanical D simulation of the human eye and its muscles. It

simulates the common eye muscle surgery techni(ues in a graphic interacti!e way that is

familiar to an eperienced surgeon to deal with the support of diagnosis and treatment of

strabismus.

ARCHITECTURE OF SEE-RI!

The design of SEE-GRID is based on the SEE++ software for the biomechanical

simulation of the human eye and its muscles. SEE++ was de!eloped in the frame of the

SEE-ID pro/ect by 0pper 1ustrian Research and the 0pper 1ustria 0ni!ersity of1pplied Sciences 2SEEID& #uchberger 344)& and altofen 344356 it simulates the

common eye muscle surgery techni(ues in a graphic interacti!e way that is familiar to an

eperienced surgeon. SEE++ consists of a client component for user interaction and

!isuali7ation and a ser!er component for running the actual calculations6 the message

protocol S81 is used for communication between the two components. SEE++ deals

with the support of diagnosis and treatment of strabismus& which is the common name

gi!en to usually persistent or regularly occurring misalignment of the eyes. Strabismus is

a !isual defect in which eyes point in different directions.

1 person suffering from it may see double images due to misaligned eyes. SEE++ is able

to simulate the result of the 9ess- :ancaster test& from which the pathological reason of

strabismus can be estimated. The outcome of such an eamination is two ga7e patterns

;see ,igure < of blue points and of red points respecti!ely. The blue points represent the

image seen by one eye and the red points the image seen by the simulated other eye& but

in a pathological situation there is a de!iation between the blue and the red points. The

default ga7e pattern that is calculated from the patient%s eye data by SEE++ contains =

points. #ut there eist ga7e patterns with 3>& )* or more points ;bigger ga7e patterns

pro!ide more precise results for the decision support in case of some pathology& but their

calculations are more time consuming

applying simple data parallelism B by the eploitation of the huge computational power

of the Grid. Then& we also de!eloped a prototype !ersion of the grid-enabled pathology

fitting algorithm& whose goal is to determine ;approimately< the pathological reason of

strabismus in case of a patient.
