Ocular Hemodynamics and Glaucoma Prognosis

Ocular hemodynamics and glaucoma: the role of mathematical modeling.

PURPOSE To discuss the role of mathematical modeling in studying ocular hemodynamics, with a focus on glaucoma. METHODS We reviewed recent literature on glaucoma, ocular blood flow, autoregulation, the optic nerve head, and the use of mathematical modeling in ocular circulation. RESULTS Many studies suggest that alterations in ocular hemodynamics play a significant role in the development, ...

Hemodynamics and Prognosis

Clinical and hemodynamic manifestations of overt right ventricular infarction differ markedly from those that involve injury confined exclusively to the left ventricle. However, the frequency of covert right ventricular infarction and its influence on overall enzymatically estimated infarct size, hemodynamics and prognosis have not been characterized. Accordingly, 249 patients with transmural a...

Ocular trauma and glaucoma.

Development of glaucoma must be considered after any ocular trauma. Transient or prolonged elevations in intraocular pressure (IOP) and damage to the trabecular meshwork and other structures predispose traumatized eyes to the development of glaucomatous optic nerve loss. Each trauma case is unique, but ocular injury tends to occur in certain patterns. An understanding of these patterns allows o...

Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension

Ocular manifestations and prognosis of secondary glaucoma in patients with carotid-cavernous fistula.

PURPOSE To study the frequency of ocular manifestations and the prognosis of secondary glaucoma in cases of carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF). METHODS A retrospective multicenter study was conducted to investigate causes, types, ocular symptoms, complications, treatment, and prognosis in subjects with CCF. RESULTS Among the 43 patients diagnosed with CCF between 1984 and 2000, a total of 13 p...
