Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I would like to point it out to you that ESR is a non specific test and just points out an inflammatory process is happening in the body.
It is positive from cancer to infection like malaria and TB. What is important is in these conditions ESR will be in 100s.
In this particular condition, the ESR is mildly raised because of the eye infection.
The following advice can help your father have a speedy recovery
1. Avoid direct sun exposure and dust exposure
2. Avoid long hours in front of the TV and PC
3. Follow your ophthalmologist’s advice of antibiotics and moistening drops
4. Ample rest to eye with minimum 6 hours of sleep
I wish you good health. Please accept my answer if you have no follow up queries
Regards

Hello.
Thanks for reverting.
Both are correct. Each lab will undergo standardization and the values are decided accordingly after that.
If your lab says 0 to 30 is normal, then ESR is normal.
0 to 30 is ideally taken as normal according to Indian books.
I hope, this answers your query. I wish your husband a speedy recovery
