Going to see the doctorr tomorrow, and hoping that my new meds will drop my left eye pressure down from 31.5. Had my second eye surgery 2 weeks ago that raised my pressure from 26 to 31. I was so excited thinking the pressure was going to drop. My heart sank when I was told it went UP at my follow up.1 Recommendation1 Comment
