Episcleral Venous Pressure and Glaucoma

Abstract

The pioneering work of Lauber in the early 20th century was the first stepping stone towards understanding the role of episcleral venous pressure in aqueous humor dynamics. This led to Seidel's observation in 1923 that India ink injected in the anterior chamber gained access to episcleral veins, and in 1942, Ascher made the first direct observation of the aqueous veins.
