Our eyes' Intraocular Pressure (IOP) is measured by a diagnostic procedure called tonometry. The aqueous fluid, in particular, exerts force on the walls and the remaining internal components of the eye, causing the IOP as a result. The IOP would rise, increasing the risk of injury, if more aqueous humour was produced than was eliminated due to either excess production or removal issues.
The Goldmann Applanation Tonometry Device is the measurement Device method that is most frequently employed, and it measures the resistance that the cornea exhibits when it is flattened. With the use of this approach, we may determine the intraocular pressure readings, which typically range between 10 and 21 mm Hg. The readings can change depending on the time of day and corneal thickness at when they are measured. The optic nerve may be damaged and the vision field altered if the pressure is high or increases quickly or continues to be high. One of the key contributing causes to the development of glaucoma would be this.
