Higher than "normal": Your iop is above "normal" range of 10-21 mmhg. However, depending on your eye exam, you may not have a disease associated with this iop. Risk factors for glaucoma are elevated iop, thin corneas, positive family history, especially siblings with diagnosed glaucoma, african/hispanic ethnicity, aging. I recommend your eye md discuss with you what your risk is, & if your iop is too high for you.

Eye pressure: This is a borderline elevated pressure and a single reading depending on the method used may have no significance. To differentiate between frank glaucoma and ocular hypertension you would need to have an eye examination by an ophthalmologist and or a glaucoma specialist. This would be recommended for you at this time.
