Ocular Hypertension Overview

Ocular hypertension occurs when the pressure inside the eye exceeds the normal range, surpassing 21 mm Hg. This rise in intraocular pressure, which tends to increase with age but can also result from other conditions, is a significant risk factor for glaucoma. Consequently, individuals with ocular hypertension are more likely to develop glaucoma. However, the two conditions are distinct: ocular hypertension refers to elevated intraocular pressure without damage to the optic nerve, whereas glaucoma involves optic nerve damage, which can occur even when intraocular pressure is normal or elevated. Glaucoma can lead to visual field loss and, in advanced stages, even central vision impairment.

Ocular hypertension arises from a dysfunction in the drainage system for aqueous humor—the fluid responsible for nourishing and maintaining ocular structures. When this fluid does not drain properly, the balance between its production and outflow is disrupted, resulting in increased intraocular pressure. This rise is typically gradual but can sometimes occur suddenly.

To diagnose ocular hypertension, the following tests are recommended:  

• Central visual field evaluation using standard automated perimetry.  
• Optic nerve and fundus examination with stereoscopic slit lamp biomicroscopy (with pupil dilation if needed).  
• Optical coherence tomography (OCT) or optic nerve head imaging.  
• Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement using Goldmann applanation tonometry.  
• Assessment of peripheral anterior chamber configuration and depth through gonioscopy.

The primary treatment for ocular hypertension involves eye drops, similar to those used for glaucoma. These medications lower intraocular pressure by either reducing the production of aqueous humour by the ciliary body or enhancing its drainage. Recent advancements have made these treatments more effective and less prone to side effects. Common medications include prostaglandins, beta-blockers, alpha-adrenergic agonists, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, rho kinase inhibitors, and miotic or cholinergic agents. If eye drops fail to reduce IOP adequately, other measures such as laser or surgical interventions may be necessary.

Ultimately, patients with ocular hypertension require long-term monitoring to assess the potential progression to glaucoma and to evaluate the effectiveness of their treatment plan. Regular follow-ups with a physician are essential to ensure optimal eye health and prevent complications.
