I've worked as an eyecare professional for ten years with some of the top glaucoma docs in practice, one of whom actually wrote "The Glaucoma Book".
Recently I started working with a new ophthalmologist who re-checks my IOP's (many minutes later) and after every patient comes back to tell me that she finds the IOP SEVERAL points lower, every single time.
I asked her specifically if she is putting more fluro in the eye before she checks...she says no.
My point: She is not putting more fluro in when she re-checks IOP, and so...the mires are thinner and therefore, the IOP would SEEM lower.
I'm confident in my abilities and do not doubt my measurements.
I find this annoying and more. But I'd like to hear some other opinions.
Is this happening to you? How do you deal?
Am I over reacting?
