Hello A. IOP alone is insufficient to comment anything B.  23mm is borderline high IOP but we need to adjust for corneal thickness... Get pachymetry done to see corneal thickness and we will then calculate the correct pressure C.  Visual field or Perimetry is best test to detect glaucoma... Ganglion cell thickness on OCT gives idea of early glaucoma D. Diurnal variation in IoP should be checked For all these I would recommend you to consult local glaucoma specialist
