If your eye pressure, also calledintraocular pressure or IOP, registers higher than that range, it doesn’t automatically mean that you have glaucoma. If your eye doctor doesn’t see evidence of glaucoma, the condition is labeledocular hypertension. This can exist on its own, or eventually lea...
A:Normal pressure in the eye is between 12 and 21mm Hg. Some patients are fortunate in that their optic nerves can tolerate pressures outside this range. If there are no other signs of glaucoma (visual field defector optic nerve changes), then high pressures can be followed and simply obser...
Clinically, normal tension glaucoma is considered a special subtype of glaucoma, in which the patient's intraocular pressure is within the normal range, but the patient experiences typical glaucomatous changes. However, increasing evidence has challenged the traditional pathophysiological view of normal ...
Normal eye pressure is between 8 mmHg and 22 mmHg. Visual-field testing is the best way to find early signs of loss of peripheral vision. Most often, visual fields are checked using an automated machine. You look straight ahead into the machine and press a button when you see a blinking...
progressive damage to the optic nerve, which almost always begins with a subtle loss of peripheral (side) vision. The main factor that leads to damage of the optic nerve is elevated pressure in the eye. If not diagnosed and treated, Glaucoma can progress to a loss of central vision and ...
Primary open-angle glaucoma (broad) is a disease concept that encompasses both*primary open-angle, where IOP is higher than the normal range, and normal-tension glaucoma. In clinical practice, primary open-angle glaucoma (broad) is divided into high IOP (primary open-angle glaucoma) and normal...
The regression analysis of the results shows that whatever the initial intraocular pressure the final intraocular pressure will be within the normal range (the higher 54 P. G. WATSON Table 1. Comparative results of different techniques of trabeculectomy (follow-up greater than one year) Limbus-...

Normal eye pressure is between 12 mmHg and 21 mmHg. However, someone with an eye pressure within this range can still develop glaucoma. This is called normal-tension glaucoma. Perimetry –Also known asvisual field testing, this test creates a “map” of the patient’s visual field. Results...
