Ocular hypertension is an ophthalmic condition characterized by consistently elevated intraocular pressure—typically defined as greater than 21 mm Hg—in the absence of detectable optic nerve damage or visual field defects

It primarily arises from an imbalance between aqueous humor production and its drainage, most commonly due to increased resistance across the trabecular meshwork in an open anterior chamber angle While individuals with ocular hypertension remain asymptomatic and retain normal vision, the condition represents the primary modifiable risk factor for the development of primary open-angle glaucoma
