Abstract

Intraocular, intracranial and ocular perfusion pressures are important parameters in glaucoma pathophysiology and progression. Taking into account the physiological triangular relationship between intraocular, intracranial and arterial blood pressures, glaucoma might be described as a misbalance between these parameters, leading to increase in translaminar pressure difference and translaminar pressure gradient.
