high eye pressures have fallen

I have high eye pressures which actually doesn't affect me at all but as my Dad had glaucoma they who must be obeyed like to keep them down so have been taking eye drops. The first lot didn't work very well but i was given some new ones 6 weeks ago and when I went to the eye pavilion today they had dropped from 26 to 19!!! Which is very good. Very chuffed and so was the nurse. She told me to go eat chocolate cake. So I did. Well you have to do what the medical professions tell you!

glad you forced yourself to follow the nurse's advice

So what should eye pressures be normally?

Glad they've dropped - smashing news
