Abstract
In spite of the plaque brachytherapy results for treatment of eye tumors, it is found that the differences between the simplified models presented in this work, especially the phantom containing the homogenized material, are not clinically significant in proton therapy. Taking into account the intrinsic uncertainty of the patient dose calculation for protons, and practical problems corresponding to applying patient-specific eye modeling, we found that the results of using a generic phantom containing homogenized material for proton therapy of eye tumors can be satisfactory for designing the beam.
