High eye pressure and migraines

Posted by justjean @justjean, May 14, 2022

Have high eye pressure in one eye due to past injury scratched cornea. Eye pressure has fluctuated in past 2?years from 18 to today 25. Stopped the 3 extra drops last year as blurred vision. Using lantanaProst. Doctor recommended laser surgery on eye to relieve pressure. I had migraine medicine today wen saw him told him but he disregarded it. I wondered if medicine could impact puff test raising pressure. I am getting 2nd opinion on laser treatment.

Welcome @justjean, I think it's always a good idea to get a second opinion when you are in doubt about a treatment. Here's an article that you might find helpful on making the decision and possibly useful when talking with the doctor when you go for a second opinion. @dsh33782 may also have some information or suggestions to share with you.

Have you already scheduled a second opinion?

Hi and thankyou for feedback. I researched for second opinion yesterday and found a doctor who is out of Wheaton Eye Clinic in Illinois. He also cares for my friend who’s got glaucoma. He was her second opinion 10 yr ago as she was being told similar thing from different doctor. She trusts him and he doesn’t push unnecessary procedures. I will post my results somehow after I see him. Hoping make Apt tomorrow. Thank you. I will read article you sent. Thanks much. Jean
