Probably the most interesting thing about today's data is the series of measurements behind the IOP value at 19:20 (7:20 PM) for my right eye.  
I had certain expectations for my IOP values today. I expected the values to be lower in my right eye. I thought I had done the same things I did around the period of November 10th or 11th. On those days (and some preceding days), my IOP in my right eye was closer to 15. It may be that the difference in IOP is related to my schedule for using Timoptic in my right eye, or it may be due to something else I have not noticed. What I am sure of is that I can adjust things to get my IOP back down to 15 without too much difficulty.
Today was not a typical day! For one thing, we took 200 IOP measurements today! For another thing, my IOP values were not well controlled. It was like my emotions were directly connected to my IOP today, and my emotions were varied. Consequently, today's data shows a large range from the maximum value to the minimum value. That range is 16.7, way above yesterday's value of 11 (which itself was above previous values of 9-10).
Today my eye pressure was about perfect. Here are the overall averages:
Left 15.1; Right 13.7 (differential -1.4)
Our discussions and planning for a new business venture have been getting progressively more intense during the last week. Today represents a peak in that "stress".
Today's IOP values include an interesting exam in the middle of the night (4:15 AM, which is the middle of the night for me). They also include data for 2:36 AM the following morning, when I was awake and working late. I have seen some indication that my IOP can reach the high twenties (or more) in my right eye when laying down or sleeping.
Today I went to my newly selected ophthalmologist. He used his Goldman applanation tonometer to measure my IOP. Here is what he found:
Left 34; Right 48
Just to be clear what I mean by that, my left eye IOP is 34mm Hg and right eye IOP is 48 mm Hg.
