Intraocular Eye Pressure Check
An intraocular pressure (IOP) check measures the pressure within the eye and is a key component in assessing the risk of glaucoma. It forms an important part of a comprehensive evaluation of ocular health, particularly within a preventative approach to long-term eye care.
How the test is performed
We measure eye pressure using advanced NIDEK instrumentation, selected for its accuracy, reliability, and patient comfort. The test is quick, non-invasive, and involves minimal discomfort. It is typically performed as part of a routine comprehensive eye examination.
Why it’s important
Elevated eye pressure does not always indicate glaucoma; however, it is a significant risk factor for optic nerve damage. Regular IOP monitoring allows for early detection of pressure changes, supports timely clinical decision-making, and plays a vital role in preserving optic nerve health and long-term vision.
A preventative approach to eye health
Routine eye examinations, including regular IOP checks when clinically indicated, play an important role in maintaining lifelong vision. We encourage patients to incorporate ongoing eye care into their broader health routine, with appointments available to support continuity of care and personalised attention.
