A survey of intraocular pressures with emphasis on patients under ten years of age

This paper presents the results of a cross-sectional survey of intraocular pressures in patients of the University Optometric Center, the clinical facility of the State College of Optometry, SUNY. The study consisted of two parts: a pilot study conducted by one of the authors and a survey of patient records that were reviewed at random with particular emphasis on patients under 10. The results indicate that the intraocular pressure norms used to evaluate the general population are also appropriate for evaluation of patients under 10 years of age.
