"Functional" factors (how we use our eyes) have been one of my interests for  some time. I find little information on the topic, however from time to time  questions are raised about holding one’s breath during pressure tests, tightly  bending the neck, intentionally holding the eyelids open (by the lid muscles,  not the fingers), etc. I feel considerations of this sort may well affect pressure, as well as monitor  or television quality. The position of the head over long periods may restrict  the drainage channels (the cisterna magma comes to mind). I am not familiar with the effect of menopause on eye pressure. Even at 25, if observed a number of times, many, if not most, specialists would  be concerned about your pressure. Readings of 32 would seem especially  troublesome. I hope you are under good care. Not from a professional.

Does the radiation and/or staring at the monitorscreen of the computer cause high(er) eyepressure? For about 1 year I work with the computer for about 3 hours a day and my eyepressure has been rising that same period from 25 till 32! What is the effect of menopause? To email me remove: removethis

Yes, indeed!  I’ve been under treatment for glaucoma for about 4 years now.  My initial readings were in the 25-26 range in both eyes at the time of day (early morning) when readings are typically highest on diurnal testing. In the course of conversations with my specialist, I asked what the highest reading he’d ever seen was.  The answer:  33.  So the original writer is going from bad news to catastrophe if he/she doesn’t get immediate medical intervention. –Janet Wintermute

I reading many clinical papers on glaucoma, I have never seen any reference to such an effect. >What is the effect of menopause?

I also have never seen any reference to such an effect as this. >To email me remove: removethis
