Doubts regarding eye examination
Sir/Mam
I had an eye exam 15 days back. IOP pressure left eye :20, 21,20,right eye 22,20,20 , retina has been checked by dilated fundus examination by retina specialist. And he said it's within normal limit. Myopia left -7. 5 right -7 , cylinder number 0.5 D. I also have dry eyes and floaters issue.
I have floaters since a year but sir nowadays I have started seeing black shiny dots, they appear and disappear and they aren't like other floaters. Now since 3-4 days I have headache from morning to night mild along with nausea.
Sir am highly worried if its case of glaucoma coz pressure in right eyes was 22 but I had an eye exam 15 days back so can't glaucoma be detected in normal fundus and iop exam ?? Is it case of misdiagnosis?
Report has been attached for reference. Please help
Hi...
Please trust your doctor when they examine and tell you all is good . There is no glaucoma.
If due to some reason, you are not comfortable, not satisfied with any explanation...take a second opinion.
But do not try to read and diagnose disease.it is not that simple...pressure of 21 does not mean glaucoma,moreover it is NCT, and in your prescription it is showing 18.5 also.
You can look for other causes of headache ...like migraine, stress headache, sinus issues.
Use a lubricating drops.
All the best .

Symptoms that you're describing points towards Migraine aura. Glaucoma doesn't cause headache perse unless if it's an acute glaucoma attack which is associated with severe redness in the eyes as well as severe headache.
Your IOP is borderline and diagnosis of glaucoma is not just based on IOP. Perimetry/field of vision test and sometimes OCT RNFL is required as well to diagnose glaucoma.
Next Steps
Please get a Perimetry test done.
