A member asked:
Optometrist today said my right eye pressure is 35 (puff test). i can't see an ophthalmologist until tuesday (5 days). is it ok to wait until then.

Glaucoma: That is a high intraocular pressure. For peace of mind try a different opthamology group or visit an Eye department at the nearest university hospital, if at all possible.
