Ocular Autonomic Regulation

The autonomic ocular regulation is described with focus on sympathetic and parasympathetic enervation. This is emphasized by the role of the alfa and b adrenergic system and by the muscarinic enervation mainly in the aqueous inflow and outflow systems and in ocular blood flow. Also the role of the non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic system in those pathways is described and discussed. Finally the neuro-humoral regulation, involving the cilliary epithelium role in the ocular regulation of ocular blood flow and aqueous humor kinetic.
