Is 20-25 pressure in eyes dangerous?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Hmmm: Those pressures are borderline high for most people. But there is no set cut-off for what normal is. It depends on the individual. Lots of factors go into play here including your history, the appearance of your optic nerves, the thickness of your cornea, and your visual field exam. Ask you ophthalmologist.

Eye Pressure: Depending on the thickness of the cornea (pachymetry) 20-25 may be normal; Normal adjusted pressures are usually less than 21mmHg.
