I am so glad you went to the doctor. Did the weed killer have anything to do with it?
I guess you know that there are glaucoma specialists, in case you feel that you need one,
I know this must feel discouraging, and these feelings are hard to beat. But please keep working with your doctors.
I have felt this way, when something new happens to my good or bad eye, I really panic.
I am feeling better about my eyes lately,
I hope you will feel better soon.
48 is extremely high. You need to stay very closely under the care of Eye MDs. 48 is very very high.

See your Eye MD today. Tears will not cause a problem. THe IOL is not at all likely to be damaged, biggest risk is damage to cornea.

My follow up today was with a Glacoma specialist and he did confim that I now have Glacoma. Today my pressure was at 21. He talked about putting some sort of drain on my eye ball?? What do you know about this device?
Thanks for your quick response. My problem turned out to be high eye pressure. It was at 48 by the time I got in to see the Dr. They are now suspecting Glacoma.. I was given 3 different kinds of drops to lower it asap and I'm supposed to have a follow up tomorrow... It's really hard for me to stay optimistic when something else keeps going wrong...
