Alterations of Ocular Hemodynamics Impair Ophthalmic Vascular and Neuroretinal Function.

In conclusion, hypertension sustained for four weeks causes ophthalmic vascular dysfunction, retinal glial cell activation, oxidative stress, and neuroretinal impairment. Although ophthalmic vasoregulation is insensitive to hypotensive insult, the ocular hypoperfusion causes neuroretinal dysfunction. PMID: 29309745 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
