Introduction
An intraocular pressure of 14 mmHg and 15 mmHg is generally considered normal. Intraocular pressure refers to the pressure exerted by the contents of the eye on the walls of the eyeball. Normal intraocular pressure helps maintain the shape of the eye, and proper circulation of aqueous humor is the main factor in maintaining normal pressure. In healthy individuals, intraocular pressure ranges from 10 to 21 mmHg and typically does not exceed 24 mmHg.
Eye pressures of 14 and 15 refer to 14 mmHg and 15 mmHg, which generally fall within the normal range.
Intraocular pressure (IOP) typically refers to the pressure exerted by the contents of the eye on the walls of the eyeball. Normal IOP helps maintain the shape of the eye, and proper circulation of aqueous humor is the primary factor in maintaining normal intraocular pressure. In healthy individuals, intraocular pressure ranges from 10 mmHg to 21 mmHg, generally not exceeding 24 mmHg. The fluctuation of intraocular pressure within 24 hours should not exceed 8 mmHg, and the difference between the two eyes should be less than 5 mmHg. Therefore, values of 14 mmHg and 15 mmHg are considered normal. Abnormal intraocular pressure can lead to visual dysfunction; elevated IOP primarily causes glaucoma, while chronically low IOP may result in a softer, shrunken eyeball, and even blindness. If you experience any eye discomfort, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow your doctor's advice to avoid delaying treatment.
Maintain good eye hygiene in daily life, avoid visual fatigue, and balance work with rest. When experiencing eye pain or soreness, gently massaging the eyes or applying a warm compress may help relieve these symptoms.
