Elevated fluid pressure. The normal pressure is about 10 to 20mmHg, with the majority of people falling between 13 and 19. Over 20 is considered "suspicious" over 24 "cautiously concerned" and warranting immediate investigation, and over 30 is considered to be "urgent" and a potential emergency situation.
Eye pressure elevated above 21 mm of mercury, with no obvious optic nerve damage or visual field defects. Glaucoma may or may not develop with time.
A condition where the intraocular pressure of the eye is above normal. A recent study (the Ocular Hypertensive Treatment Study, or OHTS) indicated that ocular hypertension may be the precursor to glaucoma. Go to Top
Condition in which the intraocular pressure of the eye is elevated above normal and which may lead to glaucoma.
A condition where the intraocular pressure of the eye is above normal. Ocular hypertension can lead to glaucoma. Go to Top | Close Window
An increase in the pressure in your eyes that is above the range considered normal with no detectable changes in vision or damage to the structure of your eyes. The term is used to distinguish people with elevated pressure from those with glaucoma. It can occur in people of all ages, but it occurs more frequently in African Americans, those over 40 and those with family histories of ocular hypertension and/or glaucoma. It is also more common in those who are very nearsighted or who have diabetes.
Elevated intraocular pressure.
The condition when a person has elevated eye pressure but no detectable optic nerve or visual field damage. The term is used to distinguish people with elevated eye pressure from those with glaucomatous injury to the optic nerve. While not all people with ocular hypertension develop glaucoma, there is an increased risk of glaucoma among those with ocular hypertension.
Intraocular pressure higher than 21 mm Hg.
Condition in which the intraocular pressure of the eye is elevated above normal without any obvious optic nerve damage or visual field defects. Over time, ocular hypertension may develop into glaucoma. See Free Eye Tests.
high (greater than 21 mm Hg) intraocular pressure.
Ocular hypertension (OHT) is intraocular pressure higher than normal in the absence of optic nerve damage or visual field loss.http://www.aao.org/aao/patients/eyemd/upload/Ocular-Hypertension-Glaucoma-and-Eye-Drops.pdf American Academy of Ophthalmologyhttp://www.aoa.org/x1799.xml American Optometric Association
