What Time of Day is Eye Pressure Lowest

Table of Contents

Glaucoma affects your eye’s clear fluid, known as aqueous humor, by increasing intraocular pressure. But under normal circumstances it circulates and keeps intraocular pressure healthy; with glaucoma this fluid builds up causing pressure that damages optic nerves and can eventually lead to vision loss and blindness. Healthcare providers monitor eye pressure using tonometry as an easy, painless test.
