Glaucoma

Ocular Hypertension

Also known as: ocular hypertension, OHT, elevated IOP, high eye pressure, raised IOP no glaucoma, glaucoma risk IOP

Overview

Intraocular pressure above the statistically normal range (typically >21 mmHg) with open angles, normal optic disc, and normal visual field. No glaucomatous damage. Per RANZCO pathway: CCT is essential for risk stratification; thin corneas increase conversion risk. Monitor at defined intervals; refer if disc, VF, or RNFL changes emerge or if IOP exceeds referral threshold.
