| Core Tip |
Cardiovascular disease and glaucoma may appear unrelated at first glance, but recent research suggests a potential link between the two seemingly distinct health issues. This review delves into the complex interplay of vascular dysregulation, blood pressure, perfusion pressure, neurovascular coupling, and oxidative stress. Furthermore, certain medications frequently prescribed for managing cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure, such as beta-blockers, may influence blood flow to the eyes. This, in turn, could potentially increase the risk of glaucoma in some individuals. This research highlights how cardiac dynamics can impact ocular health, even when intraocular pressure remains within the normal range. |
