Effect of intraocular pressure on the hemodynamics of the central retinal artery: A mathematical model

Retinal hemodynamics plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of several ocular diseases.There are clear evidences that the hemodynamics of the central retinal artery (CRA) is strongly affected by the level of intraocular pressure (IOP), which is the pressure inside the eye globe. However, the mechanisms through which this occurs are still elusive. The main goal of this paper is to develop a mathematical model that combines the mechanical...
