Normal intraocular pressure (IOP) is more precise than commonly believed. In healthy young adults, daytime IOP averages 12 +/- 2 mm Hg, rising slightly with age.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Physiology

Background:

  • Systemic blood pressure has established normal values (e.g., 120/70 mm Hg).
  • Normal intraocular pressure (IOP) ranges are considered vague, often cited between 7 and 21 mm Hg.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define a more accurate parameter for normal intraocular pressure.
  • To establish a precise baseline and age-related progression for IOP in healthy individuals.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review.
  • Analysis of original data on intraocular pressure measurements.

Main Results:

  • Intraocular pressure in normal subjects is a dynamic yet accurate parameter.
  • The normal daytime IOP for healthy young adults is approximately 12 +/- 2 mm Hg.

  • IOP increases by approximately 1 mm Hg per decade after age 40.

    • Conclusions:

    • Normal intraocular pressure is more precisely definable than previously thought.
    • A standard IOP value of 12 +/- 2 mm Hg for young adults provides a better reference.
    • Age-related increases in IOP should be considered in clinical assessments.
