Growths on the surface of the eye can be unsightly and frightening. Most growths on the eye, which often occur as people age, pose no threat to health or vision and aren&rsquo;t cancers.
The unit of measure for static pressure is often inches of water (in. water). one inch of water is the suction needed to draw water up a straw one inch. pound per square inch static pressure (1 psi) is equal to 27.7 in. water static pressure. static pressure is given as Pascals (Pa).
The units of psig (pounds per square inch, gage) remind us that we are talking about this *difference* in pressure. The absolute air pressure at sea level is about 14.7 psi. Suppose the air pressure in your car tire is 30 psig. Then the absolute pressure inside is 30+14.7 = 44.7 psi.
