Ocular Perfusion Pressure (OPP)

Mean, systolic and diastolic ocular perfusion pressure from blood pressure and intraocular pressure; a low mean OPP is a glaucoma-risk marker.

Example

Systolic BP
120 mmHg
Diastolic BP
80 mmHg
Intraocular pressure
15 mmHg

Result: Mean OPP 47.2 mmHg (systolic 105, diastolic 65) — low.

What the result means

Framing
A low mean OPP (≈ below 50 mmHg) is one of several vascular associations with glaucoma risk; it is not by itself diagnostic.

What you enter

  • Systolic BP
  • Diastolic BP
  • Intraocular pressure
How this is calculated
Formula
MAP = DBP + ⅓·(SBP − DBP); mean OPP = ⅔·MAP − IOP; systolic OPP = SBP − IOP; diastolic OPP = DBP − IOP.
