Intraocular pressure, or high pressure within the eye, occurs when the eyeball fluid is not draining properly. High intraocular pressure indicates a type of glaucoma. A typical treatment plan for reducing intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients involves medicated eye drops. Some patients may also need oral medications. If these drugs cannot lower the pressure enough, you may also need surgery. If you have a type of glaucoma called acute angle-closure, you need emergency treatment in the hospital to prevent blindness.
