Abstract

Glaucoma is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disease that involves the optic nerve head and the death of the retinal ganglion cells. The main challenge in medicine is to understand the origin of this degeneration. In this paper we present a virtual clinical study employing the Ocular Mathematical Virtual Simulator (OMVS), a mathematical model, which is able to disentangle the hidden mechanisms and to investigate the causes of this ocular neurodegeneration. In particular, we focus our attention on the influence that intraocular pressure, intracranial pressure and arterial blood pressure set on the ocular hemodynamics.
