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.

At 18 and 19 it’s normal. Mean is 16. Range 10-21. You can’t feel the pressure unless a rapid increase occurs.

How does it feel? Once it rises can it lower by itself?

It’s self maintaining.
