Abstract

Abstract A relationship has been derived between intraocular pressure and pulsatile blood flow in the eye. Measurements of intraocular pressure show a time variation that is associated with the pulsatile component of arterial pressure. Experimental results provide a means of transforming intraocular pressure changes into ocular volume changes. The eye is represented by a chamber with elastic walls, a pulsatile incoming flow of incompressible fluid (blood), and a steady outgoing flow of blood. Under these conditions, the rate of pulsatile blood flow through the eye can be approximated from the instantaneous intraocular pressure measurements. Data from a healthy human eye are used to illustrate the analysis. 1989 Institution Acta Ophthalmologica Scandinavica
