Intraocular pressure

Intraocular pressure (eye pressure) is a term which probably everyone of us heard before either when visiting a doctor, optometrist, human eye optics or somewhere else. However, many people do not know what this term includes, what its function is and why it is important. The importance of intraocular pressure could be compared to nowadays very much „promoted“ blood pressure which people are familiar with and they know that its increase or decrease can have unpleasant consequences. We could talk about intraocular pressure in a very similar way.
