- Doctor Denton is back to talk with us about eye pressure or Intraocular pressure (IOP). In this video, she will discuss what IOP is, if we test for glaucoma every exam, and how Intraocular pressure measurement affects eye pressure. Dr. D goes over each way we can test eye pressure, what to expect, and the reasoning behind testing. If you haven’t had an eye exam in a while, we highly recommend you call and schedule an appointment. Our team at Salisbury Eyecare and Eyewear would be more than happy to assist you. #eyepressure #faq #eyeproblem #eyeproblems #eyecare #eyehealth #eyedoc #eyedoctor #optometrist #optometry

The pressure in both my eyes were 24 last exam. I’m really nervous as I have had declining visual changes and I would love some advice. Could I call the office with questions I have? Thank you so much I love all of your videos. Having peace of mind and also tips to help improve our vision 🙏♥️
Very informative! Thank you!
Thank you very much for the information which is needed for me at this time when my eye pressure is high and on treatment
You’re welcome! I’ll be updating this video soon as well so stay tuned for a more detailed update video!
I had no idea about the air puff test and the handheld devices. My office always used the stationary "blue light" test. I feel like that's the most stable method and least room for disaster.
Thank you for the great content! You described eye pressure perfectly. I didn’t know you could have too low of pressure.
I have high blood pressure everytime...have been tested for Glaucoma by specialists. All come back negative. The pressure doesn't ever go higher, it either goes a little lower or stays the same as the precious eye exam. I've asked what other causes can determine high eye pressure and all these eye doctors are telling me there no other reason why I'd have it unless its Glaucoma. 🙄
So...no one knows lol
Thank you so much...
I don't have any eye disease. My eye pressure is 7 and 9. Dr said I am 20/70bith eyes with a slight astigmatism that shouldn't affect my vision. But everything is blurry and lights bother me. I also get migraines.. what can add pressure so I can see better?
Thank you for this....
No problem 😊
I feel like I have high eye pressure when I wear contact lenses ? Is this normal?
can we buy tono pen and measure pressure at our own home? Or it is not recommended?
I ‘d really appreciate your help!!
What can be use for it at home
I am 24 and was having pain in eyes for 6 months,i got checked and one eye is 21.5 and other is 26,i am asked to apply drops,but do i have to apply drops for lifetime? And can i study and do a job further? I was preparing for IELTS i really want to go to canada
Thank you for information. I'm listening form Bangladesh🎧
My pressure was 21 and 23. Doc says its higher than average. I'm 45, type 2 diabetic. I take good care of my glucose numbers especially in the last 6 months, I've lost some weight with diet and exercise. He didn't see any diabetes in my eyes or damage from the pressure. He says we'll check it in a year.
I do use over the counter readers 1.5. I see fine far away. Sometimes my vision is blurry far away n that's been happening the last year, I'm not sure if its related to the diabetes or the pressure.
Which over the counter readers do you use?
My daughther (12)recently had a higher than normal eye reading the optometrist asked us to return to retest in a aweek or 2. Is that a common practice? She indicated if it registered high again she would refer her to a specialist. However, no current evidence of Glaucoma and her eyes both look healthy. Can you please provide any insight?
I had an aesthetic surgery under full anesthesia, and I wonder if my eyes were accidentally pressed and they went further in, how can I check this? I don't have pictures of my face to compare, I would like to know what signs it has..
Thank you
Will lanaprost cause low eye pressure with people in the normal range?
I feel like I'm going to cry all day but don't then at night i cry a bit do have any idea what that could be
I just had left eye detached retina and mocula left eye pressure was 5. Right eye with vision is 8 . After surgery left eye is now 23, I just hope the low eye pressure on right eye doesn't mean I'm going to have problems with that.
Did the left eye recover
I got high pressure on my right eye and see double vision I had a really bad concussion in the past
Can i go scuba diving if i have high eye pressure? I think i have eye pressure of 23
My eye pressure is 29 in one eye and 31 in the other, I am 23 years old. No glaucoma, in fact they don't know why its so high. I now need glasses as the pressure is robbing my sight. Going to eye hospital today to grab some new drops to see if they work!
@@undrinkable8274 I've just got out of hospital. It was benign intracranial hypertension
I also smoke loads lol
@@nah4731 what is this
@@nah4731it's any problem now?
I still have high eye pressure yes, no intercranial hypertension
So do they deflate if too low or explode if too high? Cause headaches?
My son is just 27 yrs old he have a juvenile open angle glaucoma or joag. My question how can he go back her sight is it possible for him to decrease his eye pressure he can go back his eyesight
I've had pressure over 40, my eye specialist did act quickly on the lowering drops and tablets
is it lowerd now ? i also have 40
@@waqas76739 yes all lowered now, multiple different drops and tablets got my pressures down to a safer level, but in the end has to have surgery to get them completely in a safe range. I hope you can get your pressure sorted out. And thank you for asking
@@simmo812 hi! I have mine within a high 30-65 range… what surgery did you have ?
@@altheadonnasingh9715 I basically had cataract surgery with extra cleaning out of my eyes, my eye specialist could explain it better, I had junk kicked up in my eyes due inflammation issues brought on by sarcoidosis
@@simmo812 i also had cataract surgery and there was a 21-year gap, before I got YAG, unfortunately, after the laser procedure my eye pressure went as high as 65… they’re saying I could have another lens replacement surgery, but it wont do much with my vision, I just want this eye pressure to be fixed since it is becoming very uncomfortable… so when I learned you had surgery for that, I was curious. I am happy that your pressure is back to the normal range :)) thank you for sharing!!
I have a weird question. I've had a sharp pain in my left eye off and on since December 2013 and I notice that I wake up with a stabbing pain in my eye when the barometric pressure changes and the pain goes away after twenty minutes after I eat some food like an apple or oatmeal. When I mentioned my eye pain to my eye doctor, he didn't know what it was. My eye exam where they blew the air into my eyes showed that my eyes were healthy. Any idea of what this means and do I ever have to be concerned about my vision?
Maybe it's a trigeminal nerve problem
Same here does your eye tickling fast or just you want to press your eye? I have same symptoms like you doctors didn't find anything in my eye but it only happening with my left eye since last year
Does high eye pressure affects sleep? Ive been waking up middle of the night and i've been having eye problems lately
how do you increase intraocular pressure? My left eye is lower than normal
That's a tough one, if its just lower without any clinical implications then I'm not sure you need to try to make it higher. Drinking lots of water/staying hydrated is one option to get it a little higher.
My son is diagnosed with CG when he was 3 years old.Now he is 5 years and have 2 operations and many anesthesia. Now ,when we are in doctor's office they measured the IOP with goldman (blue light),Can you make video how at home we can maintain a lower iop with some massage?Now when the weather is cold the iop is 17 (in normal range,but for my son is higher ,because he has already a loss and damage at his optical nerve).Thanks a lot!
Great question! We're making an updated video that answers a lot more questions, so make sure to watch for that!
My eye pressure is 23 in my one eye, however no signs of gloucouma I do have some chronic health issues including auto immune disease, however my opthalmologist said I do have really high myopia and that my pressure would be a little higher because of that, would you recommend any further treatment? The 23 pressure has been consistent the last 2 years and everytime I go back without fail I have to get a 4 lens increase in prescription that my opthalmologist said shows regression in my eye site and that it can also be due to my auto immune disease
Mam i am 21 , both of my Eye pressure are 19 , and doctor said there could be chances of Glaucoma , so i had to do checkups every 6 months . Should i worry ? Also is there any excercise or good habits that i could follow to keep everything at safer side ?
I wouldn't worry, it sounds like your doctor is thorough and proactive and you're in good hands! Also, there really aren't any exercises. As far as good habits...just the usual ones...eat well, get some exercise, etc....
@@EyeSchoolwithDrD thanks alot mam , i was worried about loosing my eyesight in coming years, the moment i went through, about glaucoma on internet.
@@EyeSchoolwithDrD IS AN IOP READING OF 22 OD 20 OS NORMAL
My eye doctor said my eye pressure was 30 in left and 35 in right and that I should see an optimologist ASAP. Should I go really soon or are they just trying to scare me?
That's high enough to be in the "Ocular Hypertension" range and if you were my patient I would want a full Glaucoma workup done. Yes, find a medical Optometrist or an Ophthalmologist that has the capability to monitor your risk of Glaucoma long-term!
Hi Dr. , I am 28 years and my eye pressure is 23 and 22. Do i need to worry??
Yes, the normal eye pressure is between 10-21 . Please go to an eye doctor. My eye pressure was 24 and I went to doctor and he gave me prescribed eye drops. Your eye pressure should not be higher than 21 for too long because it could cause danger to your vision.
what does eye pressure feel like
I dont know why but every day ive woken up this past month and it gives me awful migraines .
Every single morning, both eyes feel awful
@@fusazzo94 same i found out for me its eye straining from not using glasses but they dont even help so i just dont use en
Hi Doctor
I feel tightening of eyes in sleep
What is the cause or diagnose ?
Hard to say, would have to examine you.
What if pressure is 1300 and u r diagnosed with ischemic crvo with cme ...is it possible to get vision back in single eye... Please reply!
Hi! Ischemic crvo unfortunately doesn’t typically have the best visual outcome. Every case is different, and it’s possible getting that CME under control would bring back some vision. I have my fingers crossed for you!
Whats better blue light hev protection? Transition or lutina?
yes
Hello doctor im 19 years old. My doctor said my eyes is on high pressure. Are there any treatment to lower eye pressure ?
@agoodheart is it true... How you tell exercise cause high pressure
My eye area is uneven is it because of increased eye pressure
I am only in my teens but have very recently experienced a bit of eye pressure.

@@plana4703 nope
@@Gumpified25 r u okay now?

Go get a vision exam-if you're in the US yearly "routine" eye exams covered 100% so $0 for you & your peepers are priceless
My left eye has an eye pressure of 15 and the right eye is 14. Is it normal?
Those pressures are within the normal range but only your doctor can tell if that’s healthy for you.
I lower my eye pressure once by my diet and weightlost.
I went to a eye appointment. They were shining the blue light in my eye and it gets close to my eye. I couldn't keep my eyes open long enough.
I thought I heard 1 or 2 beeps. But they didn't get my eye pressure. I couldn't keep my eye open long enough. I'm a bit bummed out I couldn't just get it done. Now I have to do it at my next eye appointment.
Can pink eye cause high iop? mine was 22-23 but I had a eye infection at the time. I'm so scared
I need update guys pls, I'm scared
Please tell me about RP STRONES.
EYE DISEAS
PLEASE TELL ME About the treatmnt
Rp Strones? I'm sorry I'm not familiar.
My right eye iop is 19 and left one is 18 is it normal
that's within the normal range, yes. but there can still be glaucoma and/or other eye disease present within the normal range. this is not medical advice, I would make sure to confirm with your doctor that 19/18 is ok for you
can eye pressure increase due to stress ?
If you are holding your breath when they are measuring your eye pressure, it may artificially increase your pressure. Relaxing and breathing normally should totally fix it though.
Yes.. when I exercise too much, I begin to have eye pressure the next day.. I believe eye pressure is also connected to cortisol or whatever hormone responsible in eye's function..
What causes severely dry eyes daily? Even eye drops don’t help. I have even tried the new eye drops with the flaxseed oil in it. It’s horrible. I’m constantly blinking cause it’s uncomfortable
I’m so sorry to hear that. Many things can cause severe dry eye. Prior eye surgeries, autoimmune disease, ocular rosacea, medications, etc. I would recommend getting a dry eye specialist to look into your specific causes and some treatment options
@@EyeSchoolwithDrD well I have been wearing glasses since the 6th grade. Now 40. Eye dr only said use eye drops and they said I didnt have any eye diseases. But I’m noticing also that it’s not just dry eyes, but dry skin on face and dry scalp. Not sure what’s going on or if it’s connected
It could be sjogren's syndrome
@@hiiamstranger8809 interesting.. how do I fix it? Or can it be fixed
Vitamin A deficiency. Recommend HYDROEYE supplements. Healthy fats.
So I’ve been having this weird eye presure for 7 years now eye doc thinks my eyes are ok my neurologist thinks is migraines !What you think doc ?

Eye pressure is 6mm . How i increase ?
Can be tough to increase. Is that your normal pressure or is this following surgery or meds? Is your doctor concerned that it is too low? Staying hydrated is helpful but if the cause is something else that won't help. Definitely see your Optometrist/Ophthalmologist and go with their advice!
Retina detachment happen .. after this doc check IOP that is 6mm. Doc refuses to do operation .
@@nabeelhassansulehria8171 my retina also detached when I was a kid and in 2014 I had a cataract surgery of my blind eye. Now my eye pressure is too low like 2-3mm and has fallen below 5 after 5-6 years.What does your doctor say about it
how to lower eye pressure?
Lots of options. Eyedrops. Laser Procedures. Surgical valves/stents/other. Eyedrops are typically first line.
@@EyeSchoolwithDrD We wan't a natural way miss. All those surgery s are also not good for people s eyes
