What are acceptable glaucoma pressure numbers?

Acceptable glaucoma pressure numbers (intraocular pressure or IOP) can vary from person to person and depend on factors such as the type of glaucoma and the individual's optic nerve health. In general, an IOP target range of 12 to 18 mmHg (millimeters of mercury) is considered acceptable to prevent further optic nerve damage and the progression of glaucoma. However, in certain cases, the target pressure may be different.

It's important to consult with an eye doctor to determine the appropriate target IOP based on individual circumstances. Regular eye exams and IOP monitoring are essential for managing glaucoma effectively.
