A member asked:

Normal: These pressures are normal. Normal range is 10-21. This however needs to be correlated with the physical findings. Risk factors for glaucoma old age, race , family history, smoking and cardiovascular health need to be addressed. Ask your eye doctor if you are at increased risk for glaucoma.

Not alarming: 95% of normal (non-glaucoma) have pressures 21 or lower. Those pressures are good, assuming your optic nerves look normal. If not, you may need some other testing.
