A: Normal pressure in the eye is between 12 and 21mm Hg. Some patients are fortunate in that their optic nerves can tolerate pressures outside this range. If there are no other signs of glaucoma (visual field defect or optic nerve changes), then high pressures can be followed and simply observed. Most docs will, however, treat a pressure greater than 30mm Hg. Higher than normal eye pressure with no evidence of glaucoma is referred to as ocular hypertension (no relationship to blood pressure). â Dr.
In open-angle glaucoma, the typical progression from normal vision to complete blindness takes about 25 years to 70 years without treatment, depending on the method of estimation used. The intraocular pressure can also have an effect, with higher pressures reducing the time until blindness.laucoma is a group of eye diseases which result in damage to the optic nerve and vision loss. A major risk factor is increased pressure in the eye. The disorders can be roughly divided into two main categories:  open-angle  and  closed-angle  (or  angle closure ) glaucoma.
