Ocular blood flow has been identified as a possible contributor to the pathogenesis of glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and ocular ischemic syndrome (OIS) [It has been shown that pulsatile ocular blood flow (POBF) can be estimated from intraocular pressure (IOP) and ocular pulse amplitude (OPA) if the ocular rigidity (OR), or pressure-volume relationship of the eye is known. This process requires analysis of a time-domain waveform of ocular pressure, usually produced by a pneumatonometer and post-processed numerically or graphically [
