Regarding Retina and IOP
Hello, 2 years ago, I suffered from a trauma injury (a ball hit my eye), there was a dark spot in my peripheral vision. I consulted a doctor, he diagnosed it retinal edema. On second opinions, some suggested laser to burn and seal that part. But after some time, it naturally scarred (as per my first doctor) I was prescribed steroids, which raised my IOP to 45 so I had to discontinue and use drops to reduce IOP back. I applied the steroids only for 10-12 days, 1mg tablets. In my last check up, around a year ago, the IOP came 22-23. Which was 18-19 pre-injury. Background.
Current issue: My eyes start to hurt, right under the eyebrow. On the upper part of the eye. And there is a slight pain on both sides of the head near the eye. If I sleep, it gets better but again if I watch screen or after a heavy meal (like 70-80 mins), the discomfort comes again. Goes away after I close my eyes and rest.
I am not diabetic. I don't have hypertension. VIT D deficiency. Please diagnose the cause.
