ANSWER:

I’m afraid it would be unwise and potentially harmful for me to give an opinion about treatment when I have not performed an examination myself. What I can say is that the IOP can fluctuate immediately after any glaucoma surgery. Whether 25 mm Hg is too high depends upon the underlying health of the optic nerve and visual fields (something I cannot comment on). The best source of an answer to a question of this type would be the surgeon who performed the surgery.
