eye pressure
Intraocular force measurement
Eye pressure is the force exerted by fluid inside the eyeball against its walls, technically called intraocular pressure.
Elevated eye pressure is a major risk factor for glaucoma and potential vision loss: The doctor said my eye pressure was a little high.
Eye exams routinely measure it using a puff of air or gentle probe against the cornea.
