Pathological Consequences of Vascular Alterations in the Eye

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Ocular Fluid Dynamics

Abstract

This chapter reviews the abundant evidence of correlations between vascular alterations and ocular diseases. In particular, we discuss retinal diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and retinal vessel occlusions, glaucoma, and non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy. Current inconsistencies among studies and outstanding controversial questions are emphasized to bring the reader up to date with respect to the main challenges in the field.
