Increased IOP

2021-05-25 15:09:06
After Covid, I'm suffered from CSR (Central Serous Retinopathy). After 1 Month taking medicine by eye physician CSR resolved. Yesterday I went for general checkup of my Eyes. Doctor said IOP of Left eye is 24 & Right Eye is 21. He advised me 2 drops. Dorzox (Dorzolamide) & Enlube Fusion (Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose). After one shot of both Drops. Today I again checkup my IOP is 19, 18. In Covid, I was hospitalized and doctor gave me Remidisiver (6 Dose) & Methylprednisolone  40 mg (8 Dose) for 5 days. I'm little bit worried about Glaucoma. Please guide. I don't have BP, Diabetes & family history of Glaucoma. My Age is 37

Kindly continue the drops prescribed by your ophthalmologist . They will reduce your eye pressure . Only 5 days of oral steroids will not cause long term high IOP . So relax !
