is IOP (what we commonly call eye pressure). On the other is the cerebral spinal fluid pressure ("CSFP" or "CSF pressure"). The difference between those two pressures is more important than the absolute value of either one...normal tension glaucoma. If a person has an elevated IOP of 30 and a similarly elevated CSFP they would have balanced pressures at the lamina cribrosa and may **not** exper…

the optic nerve all the way to its insertion through the lamina cribrosa at the back of the eye. CSFp is the pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid (analogous to blood pressure or intraocular pressure or any fluid pressure...The intraocular pressure ("IOP") is separated from the CSFp by the lamina cribrosa, which is roughly 500 μm thick but thins with glaucoma. Any change in one of these pressures c…

influence both blood flow (in the eye, brain and elsewhere) and cerebral spinal fluid pressure ("CSFP"). In fact, CSFP is proportional to CO2. Carbon dioxide levels sufficient to affect CSFP can be induced by changes in breathing...my research. It is also the opposite of what glaucoma patients should probably be doing habitually. CSFP balances IOP. Low CSFP has similar consequences on the optic n…

pressure is only part of the equation. It stands in relation to cerebral spinal fluid pressure (CSFP). The two generate a pressure gradient across the lamina cribrosa (back of eye) that is thought to contribute to the glaucoma...If your OPP shifts in the wrong direction, your BP dips, your IOP increases and your CSFP does not increase as much as your IOP (i.e., the trans-laminar pressure gradient…

lie down, or do a headstand, your IOP will increase. Along with this, other things change too (CSFP, BP, etc.). We have a (good) stress response every time we stand up. If we did not, we would be at risk of passing out. Something as
