What's the difference between glaucoma and ocular hypertension?
Ocular hypertension (OHT) is a condition in which there is elevated intraocular pressure but no evidence of optic nerve damage. Some patients never develop damage, whereas some do progress to glaucoma. All patients with OHT need regular follow-ups since there is no way to predict who will develop nerve damage and vision loss.
