Welcome[edit]

Please feel free to discuss potential contributions to, as well as current content of, the VIIP article here.

Some guidelines:

Please create a new section for new topics. This helps keep the page readable.
Use colons (:) at the beginning of a paragraph for indentation. Additional colons make a deeper indentation.
Make sure to "sign" your post by using four sequential tildes (~).

Unexplained acroynms[edit]

Reading the article, it uses VIIP and CBF. But no where in the articles are links or explains what these acronyms mean. Marasama (talk) 19:47, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Same problem persists today. I can guess that CBF = [middle] cerebral [artery] blood flow, but we really need the term defined by those who use it as part of their daily professional jargon. And, intriguingly, VIIP is defined in the two NASA references' lists of acronyms as "Visual Impairment Intracranial Pressure", but discussed variously in different sections as one of:

"visual impairment/increased intracranial pressure"
"visual impairment/intracranial pressure"
"increased intracranial pressure with visual changes"

Further, the article seems to be written for space medicine professionals rather than the general reader. More work needs doing to make the content more accessible.

Article title assumes "facts not in evidence"[edit]

The present article's title, viz. "visual impairment due to intracranial pressure" (emphasis added) implies a link that is hypothesised but not proven by the existing literature. yoyo (talk) 01:02, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article title does not seem to match the scope of the lede[edit]

The article title does not seem to match the scope of the lede. The lede seems to indicate a scope that is limited to spaceflight, and spaceflight studies. But the article title does not agree with this. Which is it? Cheers. N2e (talk) 05:11, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, I expected the article to be about visual impairment that results from raised intracranial pressure due to any cause. The article is actually about the syndrome of visual impairment in astronauts thought to be due to raised intracranial pressure. This syndrome is referred to as "VIIP syndrome" in the article. Could we (a) add the word "syndrome" to the end of the title; or (b) put an About template linking to Intracranial pressure? Tchanders (talk) 21:31, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

IOP measurement[edit]

This formula needs clarification. The variables F and C both appear to refer to flow rates. Dividing one by the other gives a dimensionless quantity, where the formula requires a pressure. Furthermore a ratio other than one appears to imply a continuous change in the volume of fluid which the context suggests is the volume of fluid within the eye.
