Relationship between the optic nerve sheath diameter and lumbar cerebrospinal fluid pressure in patients with normal tension glaucoma.
TL;DR: This study demonstrates enlarged ONSDs and normal lumbar CSF-p in 38 Caucasian NTG patients and these results can be explained by a disturbed communication of CSf-p between the intracranial and intraorbital subarachnoid spaces.
Cell-Cell Interaction Proteins (Gap Junctions, Tight Junctions, and Desmosomes) and Water Transporter Aquaporin 4 in Meningothelial Cells of the Human Optic Nerve.
TL;DR: The presence of these proteins emphasizes the important function of MECs within the ON microenvironment as part of the meningeal barrier and supports a broader role of these cells in signal transduction and CSF clearance pathways within the On microenvironment.
Primary cell culture of meningothelial cells : a new model to study the arachnoid in glaucomatous optic neuropathy
TL;DR: The technique described in this paper for the primary culture of meningothelial cells from the subarachnoid space of the optic nerve and using magnetic beads for the removal of fibroblasts is effective in obtaining a highly enriched meningOThelial cell culture.

What is the optimal glaucoma treatment: reducing aqueous humour production or facilitating its outflow?
TL;DR: The fact that IOP can differ so substantially between glaucoma groups encourages the search for additional mechanisms that may also lead toglaucomatous optic disc pathology and visual field damage.
The Influence of Translaminar Pressure Gradient and Intracranial Pressure in Glaucoma.
TL;DR: The term translaminar pressure gradient is somehow a misnomer because the optic canal might indeed play a crucial role in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics between the suprachiasmatic cistern and the subarachnoid space (SAS) of the optic nerve.
