Abstract
In this monograph the important fluid mechanical and viscoelastic aspects of ocular dynamics have been presented, with the main interest centering on the regulation of intraocular pressure. Aqueous humour formation and outflow rates largely determine the state of equilibrium achieved. Neural control, not extensively covered here, probably acts through vasomotor adjustment of the ocular blood flow, which is coupled to both aqueous formation and outflow.
