Question 1

why do sometimes i feel a strange pressure like release from the top of my head and my eyes. it happens instantly and throws me off?

Accepted Answer

Pinched nerve: most likely a pinched nerve originating in your neck.
is there a history of whip lash injury or arthritis?

Question 2

why eye pressure raise?

Accepted Answer

Glaucoma: For the eye to function, a balance must exist between the aqueous fluid secreted by the ciliary body, and the outflow of fluid by way of the trabecular meshwork. If too much fluid is produced or too little drains out, the intraocular pressure increases, since after infancy, the eyeball cannot expand like a balloon. Untreated elevated eye pressure damages the optic nerve possibly causing blindness.

Question 3

can your eye pressure change?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It always fluctuates throughout the day and night normally for all people.

Question 4

Question 5

are eye pressure medications effective

Accepted Answer

Generally so: All anti-glaucoma medications have been thorougly tested and will lower the eye pressure in most cases.  Sometimes more than one is needed at a time and in a few cases the pressure does not respond well and so laser and operative surgery is done.

Question 6

what commonly leads to high eye pressure?

Accepted Answer

Imbalance: High eye pressure is due to an imbalance of inflow and outflow of fluid in the eye.  More fluid is being produced than is exiting, and the pressure within the eye goes up.  This is commonly seen in glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

Question 7

is there a way to check eye pressure at home?

Accepted Answer

Eye Pressure at home: No, there is no way to check eye pressure at home. Go see an optometrist or ophthalmologist to get your eyes checked, if this is what you are concerned about.

Question 9

what should i do to lower my eye pressure level?

Accepted Answer

Eye drops: Usually, eye pressure can be lowered simply with the application of certain pressure-lowering eye drops. Sometimes, though, drops are not enough, and surgery is required. You ophthalmologist can make that determination.

Question 10
