Do you have cataracts?
When I had my cataract surgery done, my pressures went back down to normal and I didn't have to use drops anymore but my pressures were nowhere near what yours are. My mom also had cataract surgery, but she had to continue taking her latanoprost.
Good luck to you,
Jake

I had cataract surgery 7 or 8 years ago. I found out by doing my own research that prednisone increases eye pressures. When I was taking prednisone for tendonitis, my eye pressures rose to 30/32. However, when I switched to Lantoprost, the pressure dropped to 15/17. I'm concerned about my optic nerve's health, but my doctor hasn't provided clear information. I'm going back to my old Dr. in another state for a second.
