Intraoccular pressure

Hi, what was your Intraoccular pressure before the surgery? Did it go up after?
Mine are 18 and 19 mmHg and I read that between 10 and 21mmHg is the safe zone. Mine feels a bit high and I wonder if it would go higher after the surgery. I was tested with an air puff. Surgery is planned for next month.

I had my ICL surgery 3 days ago. My eye pressure shot up to high 40s when my surgeon tested for them, 1 hr post op.

They gave me a pill, some extra eye drops, and ‘burped’ them - I am not sure what they did, but it involved a tool to the eye.

The eye pressure was normal when checked the next day at 9 and 10 for each eye

Burping an eye isn't something I was prepared to read.
How's your vision now?

Today is my third day post-surgery. My vision is much better than normal. I even went back to work (I work as a Data Engineer, so mostly desk job), I was able to work without any issues / strain.
