It is only the eyes that can see this beautiful world. If there are no eyes, there is no color in a person’s life. Therefore it is said that eye care Should do. Just imagine if a woman becomes blind and then suddenly she starts seeing? Perhaps there will be no greater happiness in the world than this.

Recently, a woman in London was suffering from hypotony, but now she has recovered from this serious condition and has been able to see again. In such a situation, let us know what is hypotony and from its symptoms to treatment.

What is hypotony?

Hypotony is a condition when the pressure inside the eyes becomes much lower than normal, usually 5-6.5 mmHg or less. When pressure drops, the structure of the eye can collapse, causing blurred vision, strains and other serious problems. If not treated on time, it can permanently damage vision.

Due to illness

• Hypotonia may occur due to problems occurring after surgery. For example, after eye surgery like glaucoma, pressure may decrease due to leakage or excessive filtering in the eye.


• Eye injury can also result in leaks or structural damage to the eye.


• Inflammation inside the eye, such as uveitis, can reduce the production of aqueous humor.


• Detachment of the retina can also reduce the pressure, due to which this disease can occur.


• Eye pressure also starts reducing due to some special eye drops.

symptoms of hypotony

Several eye problems can appear in hypotony:

• Blurry or poor vision, sometimes with faint halos.


• Decreased depth in the front part of the eye.


• Swelling or temporary clouding of the cornea.


• Formation of wrinkles or folds behind the eyes.


• Swelling of the optic nerve.

What is the treatment?

Treatment of hypotony depends on its cause. Recently, in Nikki Guy’s case, doctors injected a clear and colorless gel called hydroxypropyl methylcellulose into the eye every two weeks. This process “pumped up” the structures of the eye and restored vision. Other treatments include surgical repair, medications, and techniques to normalize eye pressure. With early and timely treatment, permanent damage to eyesight can be prevented.

Nikki Guy’s Experience

Nikki Guy said that during hypotony her eyes felt “like paper bags”. Light was present inside the eye, but due to deterioration of the structure there was difficulty in seeing.
