A member asked:
Would 58 year old daughter have better ability to control eye pressure than 84-year mother because optic nerves are stronger & younger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: People can't control eye pressure. There are many factors. The most important is to have a proper eye exam and an intraocular pressure measurement by an eye doctor. Good luck!
