Well, 24 is higher than normal so I would recommend seeing an Optamoligist who will examine your eyes and probably put you on an eye drop to lower the pressure. Having a pressure of 23 is not an emergeny like a pressure over 30 might be in which case I'd go to ER. Once you are on an eye treatment, you should be fine.
I've had glaucoma for over 30 years and currently take 3 daily eye drops to keep pressure about 15. I'd be happy to try and answer any questions you have.

Thanks Don.
I appreciate the response.
I have never had high eye pressure.
I am stressed, I have many different types of migraines.
I have many allergies.
I just want to keep my eyesite. and not panic.
I will have a field test on the 15th.
I pray that I do not have it.
I pray that if I need drops that will be the extent of it.

How did your field test go? My eye doc says to not go by the numbers; be tested though. Other things come into play besides the numbers.
