IOP (Intra Ocular Pressure) is measured to diagnose the Glaucoma (Kaala Motia). Normal eye pressure ranges from 12-22 mm Hg, and eye pressure of greater than 22 mm Hg is considered higher than normal. When the IOP is higher than normal but the person does not show signs of glaucoma, this is referred to as ocular hypertension. No permanent cure of Glaucoma except surgery in allopathy. But we have Ayurvedic treatment to get rid off this problem permanently.
