DONATE NOWUnderstanding Elevated Eye Pressure and Its Impact on Vision
Elevated eye pressure, also called high intraocular pressure (IOP), occurs when pressure inside the eye is higher than normal. Elevated eye pressure can increase the risk of optic nerve damage and glaucoma, which can lead to permanent vision loss. Regular eye exams can help detect changes in eye pressure and signs of glaucoma early, when treatment can help protect vision.
