Intraocular Pressure (IOP) Test

Gentle Eye Pressure Testing for Early Glaucoma Risk Detection

The Intraocular Pressure (IOP) Test measures the pressure inside your eyes, which is an important indicator of eye health. At Malaya Optical (PJ), this test is used to help detect early signs of glaucoma and other pressure-related eye conditions—often before symptoms are noticeable.

The IOP test is quick, safe, and non-invasive. It is commonly included as part of a comprehensive eye examination and is especially important for adults over 40 or individuals with risk factors such as family history or existing medical conditions.

Regular eye pressure testing supports early detection and long-term vision protection.
