A member asked:
My eye pressure measured 18. should i be concerned?

Probably not: The average eye pressure is between 10 and 22 and can vary during the day. In the absence of glaucoma, 18 should be fine.

No unless your doc: Was concerned. 18 can be normal or potential harmful in low tension glaucoma.
