Ocular Hypertension describes any condition in which the pressure inside the eye is higher than average. Eye pressure is also known as intraocular pressure.

It is speculated that Ocular Hypertension is not a disease in and of itself, but it can lead to Glaucome<\/a>.

According to National Eye Institute, between 3 and 6 million people in the US have elevated eye pressure. These people also are at an increased risk for developing open-angle Glaucoma<\/a>.

Glaucoma is a severe disease that causes vision loss and, if untreated, can lead to blindness.

This condition is treatable but needs to be monitored. It is essential to get routine eye exams by a doctor to assess the health of your eye.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Fait<\/div>
The pressure in the eyes is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Normal eye pressure<\/a> ranges from 12 to 21 mm Hg.<\/div><\/div>\n\r\n\r\n

Treatment of High Eye Pressure<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n

If left untreated high eye pressure can be a cause<\/a> of Glaucoma. It can further lead to vision loss.

Current treatment guidelines from the American Academy of Ophthalmology do not specify a preferred procedure or medication for treating Glaucoma<\/a>.

Ocular Hypertension is treated by lowering eye pressure.

Your doctor can prescribe eye drops, oral medications, laser therapy, or surgery. Your eye pressure treatment may even include a combination of these.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Prescription eye drops are generally the first step in treating eye pressure.

Some may reduce eye pressure by improving fluid drainage from the eye.

Others reduce the amount of fluid produced by your eye. You may be given more than one eye drop depending on how low your eye pressure needs to be.
