Measuring each patient’s eye pressure is essential in order to maintain their eyes healthy, as well as to avoid damage to the optic nerve.
One of the liquids within the eye is the aqueous humour. It’s crystal clear and is located in the posterior segment of the eye, behind the cornea and in front of the iris.The eye pressure is determined by the balance between the amount of aqueous humour produced and the amount drained. This way, the pressure remains stable.However, a very low or high pressure may damage the eye. The latter case may increase the risk of glaucoma.Did you know about this?
