A member asked:
My mother has glaucoma, allergic to all drops and pills, sight gone in one eye and pressure is 27 in the other , how long before the pressure goes up?

IOP TOO HIGH: Unfortunately for your mother, her eye pressure sounds too high already, and that higher pressure for her only remaining seeing eye will result in further visual deterioration. I advise she be evaluated by her eye md for possible surgical intervention for her glaucoma. Good luck.

No sure what you mea: Sounds like your mom may need surgery with a glaucoma specialist. Please see one asap. To find a glaucoma specialist near you i would recommend the american glaucoma society website.
