Method for non invasive assessment of intracranial pressure. The method comprises the steps of: providing an image recording device recording (101) at least one image of a retina part of an eye of a person using said image recording device identifying (104 108) in said at least one image at least one artery and at least one vein associated with said artery determining (106) in said image a first characteristic diameter value for said identified artery determining (106) in said image a second characteristic diameter value for said identified vein calculating (107) an arteriovenous ratio A/V ratio based on said first and second characteristic diameter values and comparing said arteriovenous ratio with a threshold value to estimate (109) intercranial pressure.
