Investigating the Causes of Glaucoma: Mathematical Modeling of the Hydrodynamics of Fluid Outflow Through Schlemm’s Canal

The article describes the reasons for elevated intraocular pressure due to obstruction of fluid outflow, which may lead to the development of glaucoma, cataract, and other pathologies. Mathematical modeling is carried out of the dynamics of fluid flow in the eye anterior chamber near and inside Schl...

Description
Summary:The article describes the reasons for elevated intraocular pressure due to obstruction of fluid outflow, which may lead to the development of glaucoma, cataract, and other pathologies. Mathematical modeling is carried out of the dynamics of fluid flow in the eye anterior chamber near and inside Schlemm’s canal. The effect of the position of Schlemm’s canal on the quality of fluid outflow from the eye is investigated in detail.
