Current methods and new approaches to assess aqueous humor dynamics
Introduction: Aqueous humor and its dynamics (AHD) serve numerous functions to sustain
ocular health and clear vision. Current methods to assess AHD have led to improved
understanding of ocular physiology, pathologies caused by abnormal intraocular pressures
(IOP), and treatments to return IOP to healthy levels. However, the assumptions and
limitations inherent in these methods have been problematic. New methods on the horizon
are showing promise to greatly advance the field. Areas covered: This review summarizes …
