The Effect of Age on Ocular Blood Supply Determined by Pulsatile Ocular Blood Flow and Color Doppler Ultrasonography

Abstract

The reduction in POBF with age was significant. Although aging affects scleral rigidity and systemic blood pressure, multiple regression analysis indicates that the most influential factor affecting POBF is aging. The peak systolic velocity in the ophthalmic artery also decreased with age, indicating reduced ocular blood supply.
