Mathematical Modeling Of Blood Flow In The Eye

Mathematical models linking ocular mechanics, circulation, and oxygenation are needed to improve the interpretation and prediction of key components of ocular health and disease. This chapter presents the most recent achievements in modeling the retinal, retrobulbar, and choroidal vascular beds in the eye. These models incorporate elements of flow regulation, oxygen transport, angiogenesis, and venous collapsibility and are used to answer important questions related to ocular diseases such as glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration.
