OCULAR HYPERTENSION

Ocular hypertension usually refers to any situation in which pressure in the eye is higher than normal.

It isn't a disease, but people with ocular hypertension should be observed more closely for the onset of glaucoma. Proper and regular vision care is essential to preventing or halting eye problems, so schedule an eye exam* to check for any problems before they become too serious to correct.

AT A GLANCE:

• Pressure in the eye is measured using an instrument called a tonometer.
• Ten out of every 100 people older than 40 will have ocular hypertension—but only one of those 10 people will develop glaucoma.

Schedule an Eye Exam Available seven days a week, evenings, and weekends.
