What's the "opposite" of glaucoma? (Eye pressure too LOW)? |
I thought I remembered hearing about an eye disorder in which the pressure in the eye is too low, which basically would be the opposite of glaucoma. If the pressure is low (hypotensive), there is a greater risk of retinal detachment as there is insufficient pressure to stop the retina collapsing in. Is they're an opposite? This can only happen if there is a puncture in the eye ball. Otherwise the eye ball is a closed system that continually produces a fluid and drains it keeping a constant pressure in the eye. If the pressure is really low like 4mm Hg or lower this is called hypotony. It is termed 'HOPOTONY' Low tension glaucoma is what I believe you are looking for, yes it is totally possible I hope the following info helps. |
