The Pocket Beagles are not recognized as a separate breed from the regular size Beagles. They need a fenced and secure yard as they have the tendency to wander off following an interesting scent. The breed is very friendly and gets along with everybody including children, other dogs and cats.
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.
Ocular hypertension is a clinical term describing the presence of elevated intraocular pressure in the absence of optic nerve damage or visual field loss. For most individuals, the normal range of introcular pressure is between 10 mmHg and 21 mmHg. Elevated intraocular pressure is an important risk factor for glaucoma. The Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study, a large, multicentered, randomized clinical trial, determined that topical ocular hypotensive medication delays or prevents the onset of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.
