A member asked:
Eye pressure 31 today. should i get a second reading next week before doctor establishes a baseline?

Depends: A solitary pressure reading has little value in determining whether an issue is present. It needs to correlated to the condition of the optic nerve. If the nerve is normal, no treatment is needed, but the patient should be followed for possible future damage.
