The role of eye size in its pressure and motility

A theoretical model demonstrates the influence of the globe’s size on the effects of its intraocular pressure (IOP) and on its motility. Large globes seem more susceptible to the damaging consequences of elevated IOP, and move with greater difficulty than small ones. Routine measurement of axial len...

description A theoretical model demonstrates the influence of the globe’s size on the effects of its intraocular pressure (IOP) and on its motility. Large globes seem more susceptible to the damaging consequences of elevated IOP, and move with greater difficulty than small ones. Routine measurement of axial length (AxL) may accordingly enhance precision in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma and strabismus.
