A non-invasive method and system for assessing intraocular pressure (ICP)
is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of measuring venous outflow
pressure (VOP) using a venous ophthalmodynamometer device (vODM);
measuring ophthalmic r central retinal arterial blood flow using color
Doppler imaging device; and then estimating ICP using venous outflow data
from the vODM and pulsatility and/or resistivity relationships derived
from the Doppler imaging data. Further disclosed is a novel vODM for
measuring VOP in low flow veins.
