Abstract
Relationships between morphological changes to an eye due to intraocular pressure changes and blood perfusion and nerve function changes in the retina are determined by colocalizing retinal perfusion data, optic nerve head (ONH) mechanical deformation data, visual field data and nerve fiber data. Perfusion and nerve function changes from intraocular pressure (IOP) changes are determined by colocalizing retinal perfusion data with ONH mechanical deformation data, visual field data and nerve fiber data. Optical coherence tomography-angiography (OCT-A) can be used to generate retinal perfusion data, mechanical deformation data for an imaged volume, and nerve fiber data. A three-dimensional model (e.g., connectivity map or connectivity model) of the vasculature and nerve fibers can be generated from the OCT-A imaging data and used to predict changes in blood perfusion and nerve function in various areas of the retina due to IOP-induced mechanical deformations.
