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.
1 Like POAG, normal-tension glaucoma (also called normal-pressure glaucoma, low-tension glaucoma or low-pressure glaucoma) is a type of open-angle glaucoma that can cause visual field loss due to optic nerve damage. 2  But in normal-tension glaucoma, the eye's IOP remains in the normal range. The cause of normal-tension glaucoma is not known. 2  But many doctors believe it is related to poor blood flow to the optic nerve. 3  Normal-tension glaucoma is more common in those who are Japanese, are female and/or have a history of vascular disease.
