From the introduction: “The purpose of the present book is to
bring together in a coherent manner new knowledge gained from
research over the past 50 years on the physiology of intraocular
pressure, ocular blood flow and the relation of these fundamental
parameters to early diagnosis and therapy of vascular diseases of
the eye and brain. It will be evident to the reader that the
presentation is influenced significantly by the author’s own
research. My justification is that by good fortune I have spent
many years with superb collaboration helping solve outstanding
problems of ocular physiology. This knowledge has increased
understanding of the parameters underlying the onset of ischemia
and the loss of autoregulation associated with common ocular
disease and thereby led to new methods of diagnosis and therapy.”
