The blood pressure in the central retinal vein is supposed to be at last as high as the orbital cererbospinal fluid pressure (CSF‐P) plus a hypothetical trans lamina cribrosa outflow resistance‐related pressure. The central retinal vein pressure can non‐invasively be estimated by modified ophthalmodynamometry. The talk will present results of clinical studies in which ophthalmodynamometry was used to estimate the orbital (and intracranial) CSF‐P and to estimate the orbital tissue poressure. The findings could be helpful for the discussion whether an abnormally low CSF‐P is associated with glaucomatous optic neuropathy
