Enhanced Pressure in the Central Retinal Vein Decreases the Perfusion Pressure in the Prelaminar Region of the Optic Nerve Head

Abstract

The perfusion pressure in the retina and prelaminar region of the optic nerve head (ONH) may be lower than expected because the CRVP may be higher. The pressure measurement in the central retinal vein may be a step toward a better understanding of ONH pathophysiology.
