The prevalence and incidence of glaucoma increase dramatically with age. An impaired capacity to buffer against physiological pressure fluctuations in the eye with aging may play a key role in the development of glaucoma. This project will use non-invasive imaging to determine if impaired autoregulation increases the risk of developing glaucoma. It will determine if this age-related decline in autoregulation can be restored and in this way provide protection against glaucoma.

青光眼的患病率和发病率随着年龄的增长而急剧增加。随着年龄的增长，眼睛对生理压力波动的缓冲能力减弱，这可能在青光眼的发展中起到关键作用。该项目将使用非侵入性成像来确定自我调节受损是否会增加发展为青光眼的风险。它将决定这种与年龄相关的自动调节能力的下降是否可以恢复，并通过这种方式提供对青光眼的保护。
