To study whether impaired retinal autoregulation is a risk factor for glaucoma, the relationship between vascular regulatory mechanisms and glaucoma progression needs to be investigated. In this study, a vascular wall mechanics model is used to predict the relative importance of regulatory mechanisms in achieving retinal autoregulation.
