go see a Doctor or Specialist,he or she knows your medical history,and this seems to serious to try to link without looking at that history,but since you hav eglucomma I think you should get seen immediatly,it could be air build up causing pressure or eye strain,or it could be Glucomma itself,blood ,or just swellage, or temporary until your body adjusts to your new weigt loss.Congragulations,but be careful,sepecially if it's unexpected.Go see a Doctor or Specialists,ask your Doctor to make referrals,and with all diagnosis,ask for reasons,and get second,third fourth opinions if necessary.nd good luck you made need a machine, home machine to release the pressure,or therapy excersize.At any rate go see the Doctor before you try anything,and do not take over the counter drugs unless you have a pescription from your Doctor for overthe counter drugs.Go see an eye specialist and eye Doctor,i don't know if you've gone to one latley,be sure you tell him or her about all of your medical history,and medications and symptoms.Ask your Doctor maybe there is a certain eye Doctor who he and you feel are the right one for you.

I have never heard of this happening before, but I'm not a Dr. Her eye pressure has went down quite a bit and this is great.
The best thing to do is ask her Ophthalmologist.
What tests has she had for the unexplained weight lose. There has to be a reason for this if she has not changed her diet.
