Hello! I’m only 23 years old, but I have had fluctuating eye pressure since I was about 19. From what I can tell(solely based on person experience), you shouldn’t worry too much about the increase of pressure you’re experiencing. Your eye doctor wants to see you again in six months, that’s not really a bad thing! Your doctor can ask you to come back in a month or even two weeks if they believe it is serious enough. There are other factors as to why your pressure may have increased as well. For example, a cold, allergies and even headaches can cause an increase of pressure for that day.

My best advice is not to worry! Your doctor will help you get this under control if it increases too much, usually with eye drops! If you’re feeling the pressure on your eyes, I really like using something that has a little weight and placing it on my eyes for counter pressure. I have a heating pad that is in the shape and the size of a sleeping mask.
