Normal eye pressure

My 13 yr old DD had her eye pressure measured using a tonometer. It was 10 and 11 mmHg. The optician said all normal. From what I remember, for a normal average eye pressure, they’ll be looking for a reading between 10mmHg and 21mmHg but some say between 12 and 21mmHg.

So is 10 and 11 normal for a teenager and not too low?

Was it the same in both eyes? 10 is normal.

@underneaththeash The optician just said 10 and 11 so I guess it's one right one left.

Yes, that's fine then. Readings below 8 are less usual, but 10/11 is pretty common.
