Elevated eye pressure rarely gives early warning signs—it works silently, often damaging the optic nerve without pain, redness, or initial blurriness. That is why tonometry (an eye pressure check) is a non-negotiable part of comprehensive eye care.
You should make regular eye pressure checks a priority if you are over 40, have a family history of glaucoma, manage chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, use steroid medications long-term, or have severe near-sightedness. Caught early, changes in intraocular pressure can be easily managed to prevent irreversible vision loss.
Save this reel as an essential reminder for your next eye appointment, and share it with someone you care about.
