A member asked:
My eye pressue is 17 and 26? is it dangerous? should i start eye drops
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That depends: I pressure alone is not always the only indicator to start treatment. There might be a reason why the eye pressure is higher in your left ey. A simple reason would be eyelid squeezing or holding your breath while having your price pressure checked. your eye doctor will do some other testing to decide whether you require treatment. Good luck.
