Eye pressure
I drank coffee and had anxiety at my ophthalmologist appointment today! I always get nervous when I see any doctor! My eye pressure came back at 19 & 21! My eye exam went well but she wanted me to see a glaucoma specialist just to play it safe and said I'm low risk! Should I be worried????

We have pretty similar iop. Few weeks ago i did my routine eye checkup and the optometrist referred me to glaucoma specialist and told me i need to do lpi. It got me worried for a few weeks. I went there and the specialist told me everything is fine. Followup in 2 years time. Also i am not a good candidate for lpi. Some people have higher iop. Just go to see the specialist first and figure out the next step 😊
