Zusammenfassung:Choroidal autoregulation is discussed controversially. The present study was designed to investigate for the effect of standardized manipulation of local perfusion parameters on choroidal hemodynamics in cynomolgus monkey eyes with lasersurgically induced glaucoma (CMG; German abbreviation: RA-LHDG). CMG unilaterally received 2-3 laser treatments so as to develop the lasered-eye glaucoma model. Intraocular pressure (IOP; German abbreviation: IOD) and Ocular Pulse Amplitude (OPA) were measured and Peak Pulse Blood Volume (PPBV; German abbreviation: PGBV) was determined. In CMG PPBV was not significantly (sig., p > 0.05) altered in laser-treated eyes--despite a sig. (p < 0.05) increase in IOP. Untreated contralateral control eyes of monkeys with an IOP-increase > 5 mm Hg in laser-treated eyes showed a sig. (p < 0.05) increase in PPBV. Unchanged PPBV in laser-treated eyes of CMG and an increase in PPBV in control eyes point at a bilateral autoregulatory compensatory mechanism, which is more manifest in eyes with IOPs in the normal range.
