  2. Normal tension glaucoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_tension_glaucoma

    Normal tension glaucoma (NTG) is an eye disease, a neuropathy of the optic nerve, that shows all the characteristics of primary open angle glaucoma except one: the elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) - the classic hallmark of glaucoma - is missing. Normal tension glaucoma is in many cases closely associated with general issues of blood ...

  3. Ocular hypertension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_hypertension

    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]

  4. Intraocular pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraocular_pressure

    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 .

  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. Glaucoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaucoma

    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]

  7. Optic cup (anatomical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_cup_(anatomical)

    The cup-to-disc ratio (often notated CDR) is a measurement used in ophthalmology and optometry to assess the progression of glaucoma. The optic disc is the anatomical location of the eye's "blind spot", the area where the optic nerve leave and blood vessels enter the retina. The optic disc can be flat or it can have a certain amount of normal ...
