ATLANTA – “For a long time we thought glaucoma was a one-pressure disease – eye pressure. The reality is that it’s probably a combination of IOP and intracranial pressure,” John Berdahl, MD, said here at SECO.

Berdahl theorizes that if IOP and intracranial pressure, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure are equal, you do not get glaucoma.
