To the optical properties of the eye were normal, ocular pressure must be constant. The complexity of determining the increase in pressure in that it does not manifest itself. And so unnoticed may manifest glaucoma. Which in turn about 30 % of cases) can lead to complete blindness. Heaviness in the eyes, fast fatigue, and fatigue may indicate a slight increase in intraocular pressure. In case of appearance of such symptoms is needed as early as possible to see a specialist - an ophthalmologist. He will examine and prescribe treatment.

To identify changes in the body, it is necessary to periodically measure the eye pressure. This procedure is not pleasant, but necessary. Plus of it is that it is absolutely painless. It goes like this: the patient looks down, closing his eyes for centuries. The doctor is in front of the patient, and the index finger of the left hand lightly presses down on the upper eyelid of the right eye and index finger of the right hand on the upper eyelid of the left eye. Thus, the doctor can determine how dense a particular eye. And this, in turn, gives the doctor an idea about eye pressure.

Another way to measure eye pressure, incidentally, is more accurate than palpation. It is held with the help of special devices-weights - heart rate monitors. In this study, the patient lies. The doctor makes a local anaesthetic, then places a dot on the center of the cornea. The result of the measurement is determined by the contact area with the cornea. The more pressure, the less pressed the cornea. On average, the ideal eye pressurem is considered to be 22 mm Hg.St.
