A question about testing the eye pressure . . .?

Question

1...is the test where they shoot air in your eye the one for testing for glaucoma ?
2....and if so what factors would cause the results to indicate glaucoma ...

3....Could the results from the air pressure test be wrong? due to squinting...or blinking at the wrong moment?

there is no history of glaucoma in my family that I know of.

Answer 1

Good optom etrists will tell you the air test is inaccurate however it is used to test for glaucoma. don't panic - get a referal to a good place or a family recommendation. Does yourMom or Dad have this?
