Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology and Biomedical Engineering
  • Ocular Biomechanics and Hemodynamics

Context:

  • Glaucoma pathogenesis involves complex vascular and mechanical factors.
  • Early identification of glaucomatous optic neuropathy is crucial.

Purpose:

  • To develop a biomechanical eye model correlated with clinical and ultrasonography data.
  • To enable early identification of pressure-induced changes in open-angle glaucoma (OAG).
  • To analyze changes in retrobulbar arteries and optic nerve head.

Summary:

  • The study integrated clinical, ultrasonography (Color Doppler Imaging, pulsed Doppler, spectral Doppler, power-angio), and computational modeling.
  • A cohort of 97 healthy individuals and 71 OAG patients were analyzed.
  • The model aims to simulate hemodynamic changes induced by elevated intraocular pressure.
