(or tension): Fluid pressure inside the eye. Measured with a tonometer. Usually abnormally high in Glaucoma.
The hydrostatic pressure exerted by the aqueous humor of the eye.
the pressure in the eyeball, produced mainly by aqueous humor
Pressure within the globe (Nr range = 8 - 21 mm Hg).
pressure inside the eyeball;regulated by resistance to the outward flow of aqueous humor; "glaucoma results from increased intraocular pressure"
Intraocular pressure is the pressure within the eyeball.
The amount of pressure in the eye. It is measured in units called mm Hg (millimeters of mercury). High IOP is a risk factor for glaucoma and is the main target of therapy.
the pressure within the eye. It is controlled by the aqueous fluid. If the pressure is too high, it causes glaucoma.

the pressure of the fluids within the eye
The pressure inside the eye produced by the fluids contained within the eye.
Pressure of the fluid inside the eye; normal IOP varies among individuals.
the pressure of fluid inside the eye.
The pressure the fluid contained within the eye exerts on the globe.
The pressure exerted on the eye by the fluids contained within the eye.
the pressure within the eye (normally 16 plus or minus 5 mmHg). Pressure can be measured with a variety of instruments such as Goldmann or Perkins applanation instrument, by a tonopen, air puff or others.
(IOP) Eye pressure, as determined by the amount of aqueous humor filling it. High IOP (ocular hypertension) can be a sign of glaucoma.
The internal fluid pressure within the eye created by the continual production and drainage of aqueous fluid in the anterior chamber.
1. Fluid pressure inside the eye. 2. The assessment of pressure inside the eye with a tonometer. Also called tension.
The level of fluid pressure inside your eye. The most significant risk factor for glaucoma is elevated IOP. Normal intraocular pressure usually ranges from 12-21 mm Hg, although people with relatively low pressure can still have glaucoma (see normal tension glaucoma) and people with high pressure can still have healthy eyes.
Pressure caused by the fluid inside the eye; it helps to maintain the shape of the eye.
The fluid pressure created by aqueous fluid contained within the solid sphere of the eye.
The pressure of fluid within your eyeball.
Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the fluid pressure inside the eye. It may become elevated due to anatomical problems, inflammation of the eye, genetic factors, as a side-effect from medication, or during exercise .
