High eye pressure
I went to the eye doctors today and the Doctor said my eye pressure was a little high. Can that be caused by contact lenses that were used for over a month and slept in?

A little rise of IOP once only can't be considered as abnormal. You must get it checked repeatedly and even if it is on higher side then you may go for further investigations to establish the diagnosis. As at this age glaucoma is rare. Please don't use any steroids prescription. Oral or topical.
