Can Relaxation Increase Eye Pressure?

 

Someone made the following comment in regard to my statement that stress increases my eye pressure.

"I have to say I've had my pressures checked at the doctor's when I was extremely stressed out, only to get a low reading, and had the pressure checked when I was relaxed and gotten a high reading. Other times I've been tense and gotten a high reading and relaxed and gotten a low reading.
