Abstract

The article explores the pulsatile flow motion model of aqueous outflow in the eye, emphasizing dynamic mechanisms involving trabecular meshwork, Schlemm's canal valves, and collector channels. Topics discussed include the role of pressure gradients in regulating fluid movement, the impact of aging on tissue stiffness within the outflow system, and the implications for surgical management of glaucoma.
