causes of eye pressure?

[joko]

I have been told i have increased pressure in my eyes, and one eye has a paler retina and deeper disc cupping that the other and given that my auntie has glaucoma it is likely the start of this - however

-I am only 33.

-it is more in one eye and hardly at all in the other.

-I can feel the difference in my eye - a feeling of pressure or bulging.

-my eyelashes point in different directions from the other side

-my peripheral vision is fine and I don't need glasses

all these are opposite to what is expected of glaucoma.

trouble is until i see a specialist i wont know - but that is going to take about 6 weeks.

anyone know of other possibilities that i could research. i recently had an mri scan so i know there are no tumours. and i don't have high blood pressure

many thanks

Hi in a pickle,

thanks for replying, but thats what i did and was first told about the pressure. they could not be certain it was glaucoma for the reasons i stated in my post which is why they are sending me to see a specialist. the tests indicated a suspicion but other factors made it dubious. they said its quite an odd situation.

thanks
