Increased pressure in the eye is called?

Glaucoma\n\nIt's due to increased fluid (aqueous humor) that isn't being removed by the ciliary processes of the eye.\nIt can lead to blindness, due to progressive damage of the optic nerve.\nThere are drops to treat it.\nThey do that test at the opthalmologist where they blow the puff of air in your eye to test for increased pressure.

Yes the bigger the eye ball the wider the iris

Pop eye is referred to a bulging eye, usually from excitement.

Adrenaline (epinephrine) causes the pupil to dilate and the upper eyelid to raise a little bit more.  This is considered an evolutionary benefit in the "fight or flight" phenomenon as it helps seeing while you are fighting/running.

There are a lot of things that could cause this.  You really should get it checked out by your eye doctor just to make sure it isn't a sign of anything more serious.

It might be conjunctivitis.

I have had that problem.  I asked my optometrist about it once.  They told me that it is normal.  It's a combination of a couple of factors:\n1.  Your eyes are trying to accomodate for the lack of light by adjusting to the dark.  This causes your pupils to dialate, which causes blood to flow more rapidly through your eyes, which over-stimulates the optic nerves.\n\n2.  Minor visual hallucination:  Your brain is trying to fill the void with images, trying to make sense of the newly-limited input filtering in.

If it was me, I would say it was my allergies. I get headaches from the pressure and it feels like the headaches are in my eyes.\n\nClaritin

Basic answer: no.\nReduced IOP has been associated with marijuana use, but that hardly classes as "natural."\n\nIn the absence of any other factors pressure readings around 23 are not that worrying, provided regular check-ups are performed, at  6/12  to 1 year intervals.\n\nYou don't need to worry about eyestrain or any other sort of activity, or nutrition unless it is significanlty deficient.\n\nIOP's are not as important as they were thought to be 10-15 years ago.  Then it was quite clear.  High IOP's (anything much over 20) meant glaucoma.  It was then discovered that some people ran their eyes at significantly higher pressure without any apparent harm.(Ocular hypertension).  \nJust to complicate it further, it has also been discovered that some people develop glaucoma while having quite normal IOP's (low-tension glaucoma).\n\nSo you can have pressures up to 30 and be OK, and be in trouble with pressures of 12 -16 mmhg.  But both would be unusual.\n\nIf ocular hypertension is confirmed, all it should mean is more frequent eye-checks than the average.  Field tests and optic nerve examination.should keep they eyes safe.  Having good records, the mentioned "benchmark", will help.  In such cases the pressure doesn't give us much of a guide. \n\nBest wishes.\n(UK optometrist)

Although normal intraocular pressure is generally considered to be below 22-24 mmHg (millimeters of mercury), there is much variability in "normal" for different persons.  One person may have an IOP (intraocular pressure) of 28 and not have glaucoma, while another may have an IOP of 16 and have severe glaucoma (so-called "normal or low tension glaucoma).  Bottom line is that all persons at risk for glaucoma (everyone over 50 years of age, and anyone who has a family history of glaucoma) should be examined by an eye doctor at regular intervals.\n\nThe "right time for laser treatment" is unique to each patient and determined by severity of glaucoma, response of IOP to medical treatment, and other factors which require evaluation by an ophthalmologist (eye physician & surgeon).

There are a number of etiologies (causes) of increased intracranial pressure.  The approach would depend on which one is causing her problem.  I've given you the NIH link on the subject.\n\nAloha

Most people with glaucoma respond well to conventional treatment. Intraocular pressure can usually be controlled by the regular and sustained use of eye drops and medication, preventing any further loss of vision.\n\nSo,usage of eye-medication is a must. However, have a read at the following, they might be helpful\n\nRecommendations and treatments for Glaucoma\n\n1. Coffee Avoidance -  single dose of caffeinated coffee (but not decaffeinated coffee) can increase intraocular pressure in persons with glaucoma. \n\n2.Alpha lipoic acid - 150mg per day improves visual function in people with both stage I and stage II glaucoma.\n3.EFA's - Fish oil supplement, liquid or soft gel\n4. Vitamin C , 3x/day \n5. Flavonoid Rutin , 20 mg, 3x/day\n6. Magnesium

actually it's called "astigmatism."\n\ntry - http://www.allaboutvision.com/conditions/astigmatism.htm

it is a disease in your eye that can damage the optic nerve when the fluid (that keeps your eye healthy, white, and thick) gets stuck when it is draining and clogs up and causes pressure, which could cause blindness to your eyes.

it could be acute closed angle glaucoma ,\nwhich is a medical emergency because you could lose sight in that eye .\n\nusually  it is accompanied by \n-tummy pain\n-eye pain, the eye ball is hard like a rock.

Floaters are bits of debris *inside* the eye.  They are basically always present and would not appear specifically after rubbing the eye or after any other activity, though you may notice them more sometimes than others, they will always be visible.\n\nFloaters are not necessarily a sign of something serious and most people get them eventually as they get older.  If you're relatively young, you should get them checked out by a doctor.  Mine appeared before I was ten and were the result of a detached retina.\n\n(I'm fine now, if you were worried.)\n\nHowever, if they truly only appear after rubbing your eyes, they're more likely just some kind of pressure effect.  I can't remember what they're called, but it's just the energy of the contact stimulating the back of your eye.

The stuff that accumulates in the corners of your eye is made of dead cells from the conjunctiva and eyelids, plus dried tears (salt and a little protein, plus a little lipid).  It does NOT come from the Canals of Sclemm; that bit sounded very sus to me, so I did a Google search, and found they drain into the blood stream, NOT the tears.\n\neg:\n\nhttp://www.99main.com/~charlief/Blindness.htm\n\n"Canals of Schlemm \nThese canals are located around the perimeter of the iris. They allow aqueous fluid to drain back into the blood stream. The Trabecular Meshwork along with the Canals of Schlemm regulate the eyes internal pressure. In the eye disease called glaucoma, these canals become blocked leading to increased pressure. The increased pressure, from this condition, destroys the optic nerve."\n\nI often see incorrect info posted here.  It is a real pity :-(
