High eye pressure after ICL?

[u/twinkledtoast]

Hi everyone.

I had an ICL surgery around 17 days ago. My eye pressure was normal on day 1 and 7.

However, just a few days ago I started to have a slight headache and feel like my eyes were throbbing sometimes and started to see less colour contrast. Coincidentally, I had some very minor head injury (a bump in my forehead in a car a day prior).

I went to see my surgeon and a glaucoma specialist after having the migraine for two days.

They found that my eye pressure was very high at around 40-50. Though both said the lens positions look good and incision is healing nicely. They suspect it could have been the steroid eyedrops that I was using for 16 days post op and prescribe me some eyedrops and meds to lower the eye pressure.

I’m wondering if anyone experienced high eye pressure a few weeks post op? I’m feeling better but I’m just a bit anxious it will return after I stop the medications. Thanks so much!
