Ocular hypertension is the presence of elevated fluid pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure), usually with no optic nerve damage or visual field loss. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] For most individuals, the normal range of intraocular pressure is between 10 mmHg and 21 mmHg. [ 3 ]
Ocular hypertension (OHT) is defined by intraocular pressure being higher than normal, in the absence of optic nerve damage or visual field loss. [ 13 ] [ 14 ] Ocular hypotension, hypotony, or ocular hypotony , is typically defined as intraocular pressure equal to or less than 5 mmHg.
The college is also the registered office of the European Academy of Optometry and Optics [10] (EAOO), a membership organization for the development of optometry and optics in Europe. It previously provided the Secretariat for the EAOO from 2008 to 2017. The college also provided the Secretariat for the World Council of Optometry [11] from 2008 ...
Craig was awarded a Life Fellowship of the College of Optometrists in 2019, for "her contribution to the development of the profession through teaching and education, especially in the area of ocular surface disease". [7] Craig was appointed as a Global Ambassador for the British Contact Lens Association in 2021. [3]

He has published extensively in the field of ophthalmology, on a broad range of ocular problems. This has included age-related, diabetic and inherited retinal disease; lens and intraocular lens design, development of lasers for diagnosis and surgery, light and ageing, refractive surgery and problems of the vitreous and glaucoma.
In patients with headaches, the finding of swollen optic discs (papilledema) on ophthalmoscopy is a key sign indicating raised intracranial pressure, which may be due to conditions such as hydrocephalus, benign intracranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri), and brain tumors. In glaucoma, cupped optic discs are seen.
Strongly modulated blood flow pulse in central and branch arteries can result from hypertension. Microangiography by laser Doppler imaging [3] may reveal altered hemodynamics non-invasively. Mild signs of hypertensive retinopathy can be seen quite frequently in normal people (3–14% of adult individuals aged ≥40 years), even without ...
