Glaucoma is the second leading cause of vision loss world-wide. High intraocular pressure (pressure inside the eye)

Question:

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of vision loss world-wide. High intraocular pressure (pressure inside the eye) almost always accompanies vision loss. It is postulated that the high pressure damages a subset of cells in the eye that are responsible for vision. One investigator theorizes that the relationship between vision loss and pressure can be described as

(P - 13) dr VL = A exp %3D 15

Where VL is percent vision 1oss, P is intraocular pressure (mm Hg), t is time (years), and k and A are constants. Using the data below from three patients, estimate the constants k andA.

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of vision loss world-wide.
