Normal intraocular pressure.

ABSTRACT

A study of the intraocular pressure on 1,000 apparently normal eyes, from 668 women (66.8%) and 332 men (33.2%) in whose ages ranged from 14 to 81 years (mean age = 50.16 years) revealed the mean intraocular pressure of 15.16 + 3.11 mmHg with the highest range at 21.38 mmHg. The maximum pressure among subjects in the 50-59 years age-group was 22.26 mmHg. In women the mean intraocular pressure was 15.04 + 3.07 mmHg, and in men 15.38 + 3.18 mmHg. The maximum intraocular pressure among women aged 40-49 years was 21.64 mmHg, while among men aged 50-59 years was 23.24 mmHg.
