Adequate blood supply to the eye is an important prerequisite for normal visual function. Over the past 40 years our knowledge of ocular blood flow regulation has improved significantly. This reader-friendly textbook provides a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge of ocular blood flow.
Lavishly illustrated, it evaluates the wide array of methods for measuring ocular blood flow which have already been used. It offers the reader not only an evidence-based summary on physiological and pharmacological properties of ocular blood flow regulation, but also demonstrated the ocular blood flow abnormalities in different vascular diseases. This book will enhance the understanding of all readers interested in the current knowledge on ocular blood flow in health and disease.
