A member asked:
My iop is usually 20-22 in both eyes every year. (many years now) (25 male) is this considered suspect for glaucoma? my corneas are 585 each so they are a bit thicker than normal. is that likely elevating these numbers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The corrective factor with corneal thickness of 585 drops the IOP two points. You are at the upper range of normal and I assume have had normal visual fields and normal disc evaluations. Most likely you do not have glaucoma but to be sure seek out a glaucoma specialist in your area just for your zone of comfort. You are young to have this problem.
