Definition that contains intraocular pressure
- papilledema swelling of the optic disc (where the optic nerve enters the eyeball); usually associated with an increase in intraocular pressure
- beta blocker eyedrop a treatment for glaucoma; the eyedrops reduce intraocular pressure by reducing the production of aqueous humor
- normal tension glaucoma glaucoma that results from damage to the optic nerve although the intraocular pressure is normal
- tonometer measuring instrument for measuring tension or pressure (especially for measuring intraocular pressure in testing for glaucoma)
- adrenergic agonist eyedrop a treatment for glaucoma; the eyedrops reduce intraocular pressure by decreasing the production of aqueous humor and increasing its drainage through the uveoscleral pathway
- tonometry the measurement of intraocular pressure by determining the amount of force needed to make a slight indentation in the cornea
