Most people think that they have glaucoma if the pressure in their eye
is increased. This is not always true. High pressure puts you at risk
for glaucoma. It may not mean that you have the disease.
Whether or not you get glaucoma depends on the level of pressure that
your optic nerve can tolerate without being damaged. This level is different
for each person.
Although normal pressure is usually between 12-21 mm Hg, a person might
have glaucoma even if the pressure is in this range. That is why an eye
examination is very important.
