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]

   Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the fluid pressure inside the eye. Tonometry is the method eye care professionals use to determine this. IOP is an important aspect in the evaluation of patients at risk of glaucoma. [1] Most tonometers are calibrated to measure pressure in millimeters of mercury .

   An outer layer of the eye, called the corneal dome, does not have blood vessels that are usually critical in the immune system process because the eye "has to maintain a crystal clarity," said Dr ...

6. Ocular tonometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_tonometry

   As the probe bounces against the cornea and back into the device, it creates an induction current from which the intraocular pressure is calculated. The device is simple and easy to use and self-use versions are available. It is portable, does not require the use of eye drops and is particularly suitable for children and non-cooperative ...

   Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study: This study measured the effectiveness of medicated eye drops to treat high eye pressure to see whether this treatment could help prevent primary open-angle glaucoma. It showed that treating high eye pressure with medicated eye drops can safely and effectively delay or prevent primary open-angle glaucoma.
