What is Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP)

Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) occurs when pressure inside the eye increases. This happens due to an imbalance in the production and drainage of aqueous humor, the clear fluid that fills the eye’s front portion. Normally, aqueous humor flows in and out to maintain balanced pressure. When drainage fails, elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) develops. High IOP can damage the optic nerve,…

Manufacturers make intraocular lens implants from materials such as…
