2. Ocular hypertension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_hypertension

   Ocular hypertension is treated with either medications (eye drops), surgery, or laser. Treatment, by lowering the intraocular pressure, may help decrease the risk of vision loss and damage to the eye from glaucoma. Treatment options include pressure-lowering 'antiglaucomatous' eye drops, surgery, and/or laser eye surgery. [4]

3. Intraocular pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraocular_pressure

   Differences in pressure between the two eyes are often clinically significant, and potentially associated with certain types of glaucoma, as well as iritis or retinal detachment. Intraocular pressure may become elevated due to anatomical problems, inflammation of the eye, genetic factors, or as a side-effect from medication. Intraocular ...

4. Acute visual loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_visual_loss

   A Snellen chart, which is frequently used for visual acuity testing Acute visual loss is a rapid loss of the ability to see . It is caused by many ocular conditions like retinal detachment , glaucoma , macular degeneration , and giant cell arteritis , etc.

5. Ocular tonometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_tonometry

   It is an important test in the evaluation of patients at risk from glaucoma. [1] Most tonometers are calibrated to measure pressure in millimeters of mercury , with the normal eye pressure range between 10 and 21 mmHg (13–28 hPa).

6. Flammer syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flammer_syndrome

   Migraine attacks, a common feature of Flammer syndrome, have been described as a risk factor for glaucoma progression, in open-angle glaucoma as well as in normal tension glaucoma. [14] Flammer syndrome may also predispose to other eye diseases such as vascular occlusion (especially retinal vein occlusion) [ 15 ] in relatively young people or ...

7. Normal tension glaucoma - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_tension_glaucoma

   Over many years, glaucoma has been defined by an intraocular pressure of more than 20 mm Hg. Incompatible with this (now obsolete) definition of glaucoma was the ever larger number of cases that have been reported in medical literature in the 1980s and 1990s who had the typical signs of glaucomatous damage, like optic nerve head excavation and thinning of the retinal nerve fiber layer, while ...
