EGR 564 - Aqueous Humor Dynamics

Units: 3
When Offered: As offered
This course covers the physical properties and flow dynamics associated with the eye’s aqueous humor, the transparent fluid located in the space between the lens and the cornea. A focus will be placed on flow measurements, outflow pathways and resistance, and ocular biomechanics associated with Intraocular Pressure (IOP) changes. An emphasis will be placed on how these areas directly relate to glaucoma, including various engineered products designed to diagnose and mitigate the disease.
