Your cornea is not that thick so it should not affect the result of IOP which is in the high range. However, high IOP does not mean you will have glaucoma but you can be at risk. Please follow closely with your ophthalmologist. Good luck.

Good afternoon doctors! Eye question please. How high does intra-ocular pressure have to be over how long in order to be concerned about glaucoma surgery/treatment? How bad do your eyes have to appear in order to absolutely need cataract surgery?
Hidoctors. My sixty year-old friend had cataract surgery on both eyes. He has Ebmd. Two weeks after the first cataract surgery his vision in the first eye is still blurry. Is this normal? He also experienced pain during the second surgery yesterday?
