3D simulation of the aqueous flow in the human eye

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Sylvain Roy, Adan Villamarin, Philippe Reymond, Orestis Vardoulis, Reda Hasballa

Glaucoma results in an increase in the resistance of the aqueous humor outflow, which in turn leads to an increase of the intraocular pressure (IOP). Several treatments are proposed to reduce and stabilize the IOP that include medications, filtering surger ...
