Atlas of Ocular Blood Flow

I. Ocular vasculature, anatomical structure and function 1. Anatomy (different illustrations on anatomical structures in the orbit) a. Description of vasculature (and anatomic variations) beginning from the heart to the ophthalmic vein b. Innervation 2. Vascular physiology: Controls in general terms a. Innervation b. Autoregulation (e.g., intracular pressure) c. Relationship between blood pressure and blood flow in these vessels d. Intraocular pressure and blood flow to these vessels e. Different influencing factors (e.g. mediators of vessel dilation, vasoconstrictors) with diagrams showing affection of vessels 3. Pathophysiology a. Loss of innervation (Horner syndrome b. Ion channel dysfunction (theory) c. Vasospasm (clinical observation, cold hand, migraine, raynaud) d.
