What IOP is low enough to cause retinal wrinkles?
It varies. One of my patients developed wrinkles at an IOP of 17 mmHg while others have not had wrinkles with an IOP of 2. Usually the younger and more myopic (near-sighted) the eye, the greater the chance of the sclera (thick white coat of the eye) shrinking and throwing the inelastic retina into folds. Dr.
