a person with normal IOP but below normal CSFP would have a pressure imbalance at the lamina cribrosa and may experience glaucoma -- even with normal or low IOP. Side...gt; CSFP measured at the base of the spine and with the patient lying on the side is normally 8-15 mmHg. That rises to 16–24 mmHg when...we sit up.

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 can...of the optic nerve head, such as glaucomatous optic neuropathy. If the IOP is high or if the CSFp is low, then a pressure differential exists across the optic nerve head, and glaucomatous damage can occur. The relati…

gt; The pressure imbalance (between IOP and CSFP) puts mechanical stress on the optic nerve. By "mechanical stress" do you basically mean the pressure problem **squeezes

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
