Abstract

Abstract: A modified relation between the intraocular and intracranial pressures is presented by employing the least square method to fit the existing experiments. Relative analysis here indicates that this modified relation not only is better than the previous relation by comparing with the existing experimental data but also overcomes the induced singularity in applying the existing mechanical models to compute the mechanical properties of the lamina cribrosa. The present study will be a beneficial help to understanding the relationship between the intraocular and intracranial pressures and even glaucomatous developing. Highlights: A novel relation between the intraocular and intracranial pressures. The present relation is in good agreement with the existing experiments. This relation overcomes the induced singularity of conventional models.
