Maintaining proper eye health is essential for preventing vision problems as we age. One of the most important factors to monitor is intraocular pressure (IOP), which affects the optic nerve and overall visual function. Elevated eye pressure is a key risk factor for developing glaucoma, a condition that can lead to irreversible blindness if left untreated. Understanding the ideal eye pressure for glaucoma prevention helps you take proactive steps to safeguard your eyesight. In general, normal eye pressure ranges between 10 and 21 mmHg, though what’s “ideal” can vary by individual. Regular eye exams are crucial, as glaucoma often develops without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Maintaining a healthy diet rich in antioxidants, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking can support eye health. Reducing stress and managing blood pressure also play important roles in protecting vision. Your ophthalmologist can recommend the best monitoring plan for your specific needs. Early detection and care are the strongest defenses against glaucoma-related damage.
