Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Dangerously High Eye Pressure Eye pressure levels between 21-30 mmHg associated with glaucoma usually cause damage over a number of years. However, an IOP in the 40-50 mmHg range can lead to retinal vascular occlusion, a potentially serious condition in which blood vessels that serve the retina are blocked.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tonometry is a diagnostic test that measures your intraocular pressure (IOP), or the pressure inside your eye. Tonometry can help your healthcare provider determine if you’re at risk for glaucoma.
