Glaucoma confirmation
Hii recently during regular eye check up accidentally my eye pressure was found 22.5 mm of hg and my doctor prescribed me with eye drops and medicines and now after a week when I checked it , it comes out 19mm of hg . So I want a confirmation that increased eye pressure is a confirmation for glaucoma or should I do some other test for its confirmation

Once or twice,recorded increased IOP can not be declared as glaucoma.
It might be due to intake of steroids. If so please stop the steroid (drop or tab).
