OCULAR HYPERTENSION
It is the medical condition in which pressure inside the eyes increase
In medical term High pressure in the eyes is called the ocular hypertension
ANATOMY OF EYE FOR FLUID DRAINAGE
The front part of the eye is filled with a clear fluid (called aqueous humor) made by the ciliary body.
The fluid flows out through the pupil.
It then reaches the eye's drainage system, including the trabecular meshwork and a network of canals
Intraocular pressure (IOP)
Normal eye pressure ranges from 12-22 mm Hg,
Eye pressure of greater than 22 mm Hg is considered higher than normal Called ocular hypertension
Excessive pressure damage optic nerve of eyes & become risk factor for Glaucoma
OCULAR HYPERTENSION
Ocular hypertension occurs when the pressure in the eye (known as intraocular pressure) is above the range considered normal (often defined as above 21 mm Hg).
CAUSES OF OCULAR HYPERTENSION
Primary reason behind increase the eye pressure is
1. Increase fluid production in eyes by ciliary body
2. Decrease in the fluid out flow
Resulting increase in amount of aqueous humor and it build up the pressure inside the eyes and damage the different parts of eyes
CAUSES OF OCULAR HYPERTENSION
Poor drainage of the aqueous humor (a fluid inside the eye).
Essentially, this means that too much fluid enters the eye without being drained, causing high amounts of pressure to build up.
An injury to the eye,
certain diseases
Some medications side effects
SYMPTOMS OF OCULAR HYPERTENSION
Person with higher eye pressure may experience following symptoms
Hazy or blurred vision.
The appearance of rainbow-colored circles around bright lights.
Severe eye and head pain.
Nausea or vomiting
Severe eye pain
Sudden sight loss, Red eyes
OCULAR HYPERTENSION COMPLICATIONS
Optic nerve damage
Retina detachment
Damage to retina
Glaucoma
Reduction in vision
Blurred vision
Vision loss
Blindness
DIAGNOSIS OF OCULAR HYPERTENSION
During a regular eye exam, intraocular pressure is measured using a device called tonometer.
If elevated pressure is measured above 21 mm Hg twice, an eye care professional may diagnose ocular hypertension.
TREATMENT OF OCULAR HYPERTENSION
Prescription eyedrop medications include:
Prostaglandins.
Beta blockers.
Alpha-adrenergic agonists.
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.
Rho kinase inhibitor.
Miotic or cholinergic agents
PROSTAGLANDINS FOR OCULAR HYPERTENSION
They work by increase the outflow of the fluid in eye (aqueous humor) & reduce the eye pressure.
Latanoprost
Travoprost
Tafluprost
Bimatoprost
Latanoprostene bunod
BETA BLOCKERS FOR OCULAR HYPERTENSION
They work by reduce the production of the fluid in eye (aqueous humor) & reduce the eye pressure.
Timolol
Betaxolol
ALPHA-ADRENERGIC AGONISTS FOR TREATMENT OF OCULAR HYPERTENSION
They work by reduce the production of the fluid in eye (aqueous humor) and also outflow
Thus reduce the eye pressure.
Apraclonidine
Brimonidine
CARBONIC ANHYDRASE INHIBITORS FOR TREATMENT OF OCULAR HYPERTENSION
They also work by reduce the production of the fluid in eye (aqueous humor), Thus reduce the eye pressure.
Dorzolamide
Brinzolamide
RHO KINASE INHIBITOR FOR TREATMENT OF OCULAR HYPERTENSION
They also work by reduce the eye pressure by suppressing the rho kinase enzymes responsible for fluid increase.
