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]
Intraocular pressure laws follow fundamentally from physics. Any kinds of intraocular surgery should be done by considering the intraocular pressure fluctuation. Sudden increase of intraocular pressure can lead to intraocular micro barotrauma and cause ischemic effects and mechanical stress to retinal nerve fiber layer. Sudden intraocular ...
Ocular hypertension (increased pressure within the eye) is an important risk factor for glaucoma, but only about 10-70% of people - depending on ethnic group - with primary open-angle glaucoma actually have elevated ocular pressure. [24]
Post-traumatic glaucoma: Trauma to the eye is often observed to cause secondary glaucoma. The incidence is notably higher in populations with increased levels of physical activity. [2] Ghost-cell glaucoma: Ruptured red blood cells will release haemoglobin in the form of Heinz bodies, which are potent in increasing the IOP level. [2]
Cataracts: Cloudiness over the eye's lens, cause blurring of vision, halos around lights, and sensitivity to glare. [5] It is also the main cause of blindness worldwide. [2] Glaucoma: Increased intraocular pressure (pressure in the eye) cause progressive optic neuropathy that leads to optic nerve damage, visual field defects and blindness. [6]
The blockage leads to greater-than-normal elevated intraocular pressure [2] which, in turn, can damage the optic nerve. [7] The eye produces a clear fluid called the aqueous humor which subsequently drains such that there is a constant level of safe pressure within the eye, but glaucoma can result if this normal outflow of fluid is blocked.
Obesity, in general, can increase your risk of: High blood pressure. High cholesterol. Type 2 diabetes. Breathing problems. Joint problems and back pain . Stroke. Depression. Anxiety. Fatty liver ...
Intra ocular pressure can be as high as 60–70 mm Hg and is responsive to aqueous suppressants. [3] Eye pain, blurred vision, headache, nausea, or vomiting may occur due to elevated intra ocular pressure. [1] Visual field defects, photopsia, floaters, blurring of vision etc. may occur due to retinal detachment. [1]
