I recently went to my eye doctor and my eye pressure is high, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Your eye doctor: will look to see if this high eye pressure can be monitored or needs treatment. The doc can perform tests to see if your eye pressure is causing any optic nerve damage. If the exam and testing is otherwise normal, the doctor may choose to monitor you without treatment at first.
