A: Normal pressure in the eye is between 12 and 21mm Hg. Some patients are fortunate in that their optic nerves can tolerate pressures outside this range. If there are no other signs of glaucoma (visual field defect or optic nerve changes), then high pressures can be followed and simply observed.
Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the fluid pressure inside the eye. Tonometry is the approach eye care specialists use to determine this. IOP is an important aspect in the examination of patients at risk from glaucoma. Most tonometers are adjusted to measure pressure in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
