Glaucoma

what is the range for healthy eye pressure. My right eye is 21.

Good question. Typically between 8 and 22,23. This is a tricky question because if you read all of the glaucoma section, there is a phenomenon called low tension glaucoma. These folks run pressure in the normal range but it is too high for their particular eye. On the other hand, some people run pressure of 24,25 and are termed ocular hypertensives. They may never get glaucoma. So, 21 is OK but other things in your eye need to be evaluated along with risk factors and heredity. That's what a complete eye exam is all about along with regular visits.
