Normal intraocular pressure remains to be deeply understood / 眼科

ABSTRACT

Normal intraocular pressure is a fundamental and important concept and variable of the intraocular pressure and even total glaucoma system.This article deals with certain problems in our understanding the normal intraocular pressure such as its population-based central tendency,right-skewed distribution and diurnal fluctuation,and its relationship to normal pressure glaucoma, ocular hypertension and target pressure.It is emphasized that"normal intraocular pressure"is not a simple numeric range and not confined to the upper limit for clinical values.The normal intraocular pressure remains to be thoroughly understood for its profound implications.(Ophthalmol CHN,2008,176-9)
