High IOP
What were your pressures? Do you know what they were at your last eye exam? Have they changed or are your high pressures normal for you? Usually, measurements over 21 mmHg are viewed as high.
High intraocular pressure can be normal in some people (ocular hypertension) or can be a symptom of glaucoma.
The potential problem with abnormally high intraocular pressure is that it can damage a structure at the back of the called the Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer and your optic nerve. Damage to the Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer, due to increased IOP, can occur up to 5 years before a visual field defect manifests. You can lose up 30-50% of nerve fibres before it affects vision.
