high pressure

[FLOWER1234]

HI, im 29 years old female with a very very high myopia of -21 in both eyes.I have had PVD in both eyes also lots of floaters. I recently had my eye examed by Eye  Specalist and i was told i that the pressure in my eyes was slightly a bit high,but everything else was fine no damage to the back of the eye.They gave me a follow up appointment in 3 months. Is this eye pressure something to worry abt? Could it lead to Glaucoma? Is it possible to get this at my age? What other problems could i face in the future with this high myopia? pls get back to me.
thks

Hi,yeah they did use them lens..so i guess im worrying for no reason.Another thing i wanted to mentioned  was that i had noticed a slight blind spot in both eyes that appeared abt 8 weeks ago its only notice able when i close one eye its looks like a a ball of static fizzying! It doesny affect my vision because the other eye makes up for it. Can blind spots just appear just like that? I done some research about Glaucoma and i saw a few pictures of what people see when the have Glaucoma and a few pictures matched what i was seeing. I know u cant really give me any answers without  eye exam but just wanted to know your point of view.Have you ever heard of anyone that got glaucoma ay a young age?

Yes, they can evaluate the optic nerve through a slit lamp with a special lens.

Hi,well they didnt tell me the pressure just said it was slightly raised and will re-check it in 3 months.She didnt do any sort of scans just had dilated my eyes and looked through them Slit Lamp i think thats what it is called.She didnt say anything about my optic nerve just told me to look out for a flood of floaters or a curtain fallen down in my vision.So if there was any optic nerve damage would they be able to see it thorough a Slit Lamp?

No one can answer you questions without an exam.  You did not mention you pressure, cupping of the optic nerve and the thickness of your cornea.  How did he determine there was not damage to the optic nerve?  Did he do a nerve scan?
