I had an eye test today and they did a presure test.. They said that the presure was very high and they want to repeat the test tomorrow! What could cause high presure in the eye? my nan had glocoma (sp?) could I be getting this as well?

was it that test that they blow air into your eye?
could be glaucoma-dont panic ,if they have spotted it early chances are they can treat it

Don't panick as If it is glaucoma can be treated very easily with eye drops if picked up early.
Also some people have high pressures but with additional testing are found not to have glaucoma, just high pressures(normal) so you may be one of these.
I am sure they will sort you out so try not to worry.

Went back today and the test was fine, no follow up needed for two years.. I dont know how the pressure can change overnight but there you go!! I am very relieved though... Thank you!!!
