Increased eye pressure

Comments

 
Picture
Also called Ocular hypertension or increased intraocular pressure is when the pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure or IOP) is higher than normal. If it stays high or continues to increase, it exerts a force within the eye's interior that can damage the eye's delicate optic nerve, causing glaucoma.
Intraocular pressure is caused by the fluid inside the eye (
aqueous humour) mainly determined by the coupling of its production and the drainage. Normal eye pressure ranges from 10 to 21 mm.
