A method for non-invasive assessment of intracranial pressure includes providing an image recording device, recording at least one image of a retina part of an eye of a person using said image recording device, identifying, in said at least one image, at least one artery and at least one vein associated with said artery, determining, in said image, a first characteristic diameter value for said identified artery, determining, in said image, a second characteristic diameter value for said identified vein, calculating 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 intracranial pressure.
