Surgery for congenital cataracts age 5. my iop now at 28 yo is usually 20-22 every year. however my cornea thickness is 585 and oct is normal. i am at higher risk for glaucoma given the surgery but is that pressure concerning or not given my corneas?

Correcting for corneal thickness puts your IOP in the very high teens. I assume your visual fields are normal and your discs are normal. If so then you can be monitored yearly for any trends but have nothing to worry about now. Continue with a glaucoma ophthalmologist for your annual examination.

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?
