Ocular Blood Flow and Glaucomatous Optic Neuropathy

For more than a century, it has been suspected that disturbed ocular blood flow (OBF) may play a role in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. Numerous centers have measured reduced OBF in glaucoma patients using different techniques in different eye tissues. Reduced OBF has been proven to be of prognostic value. Nevertheless, the implementation of this knowledge into clinical practice has been very slow.

This practical book will help many ophthalmologists to understand glaucoma better. The reading of this book will not only improve patient care but also give the reader intellectual satisfaction.
