What Is Eye Pressure? – Focus Eye Clinic, Thane | Dr. Mohini Modak
Eye pressure, also known as intraocular pressure (IOP), is the pressure created by the fluid inside your eye. Maintaining a normal eye pressure is essential for healthy vision. When the eye produces too much fluid or the fluid does not drain properly, the pressure can rise and damage the optic nerve, leading to glaucoma, one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness.
Normal eye pressure usually ranges between 10 and 21 mmHg, but some people may develop glaucoma even with normal pressure. Since high eye pressure often has no early symptoms, regular eye check-ups are the best way to detect problems before vision is affected.
At Focus Eye Clinic, Thane, Dr. Mohini Modak provides comprehensive glaucoma screening, eye pressure measurement (tonometry), optic nerve evaluation, and advanced diagnostic tests. If high eye pressure is detected, treatment may include medicated eye drops, laser therapy, or surgery to protect your vision.
Protect your eyesight with regular eye examinations—early detection can prevent permanent vision loss.
