 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 25 Perioperative intraocular pressure monitoring Keywords: intraocular pressure Intraocular pressure (intraocular pressure, IOP) referred to as intraocular pressure, refers to the eye wall of the contents of the pressure acting on the eyeball. Under normal circumstances, the rate of aqueous formation and discharge contents and eye (lens, vitreous, aqueous humor and blood) volume in the three dynamic balance, if the dynamic balance disorders, despite the elevation of intraocular pressure, can maintain in the normal range, optic nerve damage occurred already. Perioperative are many factors that affect IOP, particularly in patients with eye diseases, and the implementation of eye surgery patients IOP monitoring is necessary in order to adjust medication and anesthesia on intraocular pressure lowering intraocular pressure in patients with the measures taken to protect the eye’s visual function [1]. Are now monitoring the issue with ocular hypertension are summarized below. A division of intraocular pressure My normal IOP range of 10 ~ 21 mm Hg, but for everyone in terms of their IOP intraocular pressure between the level of the optic nerve of its own high degree of tolerance of sex-related, according to evidence-based medical research, the normal IOP range is a statistical results obtained Therefore, their formal clinical classified as normal, suspicious and pathological three kinds of range. In pathological intraocular pressure in the side with high or low intraocular pressure both cases [2]. 1.1 in normal-tension means of the intraocular pressure following: (1) Average IOP: intraocular pressure in normal subjects the range of 10 ~ 21 mm Hg, the average IOP of 15 mm Hg; (2) in normal-tension on the border: the refers to the highest value in normal-tension, at present considered to be 24 mm Hg; (3) Health intraocular pressure: Chao Guo mean intraocular pressure 24 mm Hg, but no visual impairment.
