air travel 15 months after RD surgery

air travel 15 months after RD surgery

I had a detachment 15 months ago and had cataract surgery done on that eye 5-6 months ago.  The pressure on this operated eye is normal and low.  The pressure on my good eye is 18.

My questions are:
1) is it safe to air Travel 15 months after Retinal detachment surgery and 6 months after cataract surgery on my operated eye and then 18 eye pressure on my other good/unoperated eye?

2)  what are the practices one should do to keep eye pressure low or not borderline?  Meds/drops, food, activities, etc.?

Thanks for the help and all the medical suggestions (valid by an optalmologist) you can share to me.  I appreciate it in advance.
