IOP is influenced by various factors like smoking, alcohol, hypertension, sex hormones, pregnancy, medications etc. This study is undertaken to find out the effect of hypertension on IOP changes. Methodology: A total number of 200 people with age group of 40 to 60 were included in the study. They were divided into two groups of each 100 normotensive and hypertensive. IOP was recorded in all individuals and was compared between two groups by using student t test. A Pvalue of <0.05 was taken as a statistically significant. Results: Our study showed that there was a significant increase in IOP in hypertensive patients compared to normotensive patients. Conclusion: There is a positive correlation between IOP changes in relation to blood pressure. So it needs to undergo regular eye check up for those patients with hypertension for early detection of glaucoma which is second leading cause of blindness.
