Hello Frank, Were the two measurements taken at the same time of day, because eye pressures like all the other systems of the body do vary during the day and a variation of 5 mm Hg would not be unusual. Also was the same type of tonometer used and was it the same doctor? These factors can also make a difference. — David Wright MSAE Chief Executive, International Glaucoma Association IGA Web Site – http://www.iga.org.uk/home.htm While we are pleased to offer the above information, it is not possible for the International Glaucoma Association to advise on an individual patient’s eye condition or treatment as this has to be the role of their own doctor or eye specialist who knows the full details of their particular case. Any comments above should therefore viewed as general observations.
