Session two: Glaucoma and the brain
This session will firstly discuss the overlap in clinical findings between glaucomatous optic neuropathy and non-glaucomatous optic neuropathy and suggest strategies for distinguishing these in the diagnostic work-up. The session will then explore the potential relevance of intracranial pressure as a risk factor for glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Finally, the emerging topic of glymphatics will be considered, which may be relevant not only to glaucoma but also to other neurodegenerative diseases.
