Could Intraocular Pressure Be Due To Concussion Occurred 18 Months Ago?

My friend who is in her early 30's was diagnosed with intraocular pressure. Could this be related to a severe concussion with subsequent unconsciousness she suffered 18 months ago. Her headache is on the same side of her head as where she hit it on a cupboard door and was knocked out in the incident. She woke up in the ED and didn't remember anything after hitting her head.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The causes of intra ocular pressure may be the glaucoma, ocular hypertension, blind ness etc.
It may not be related to the head injury, but as a secondary effect would have effect on the eye and cause occular hypertension.
If there is no glaucoma, it may be a suggestion of developing glaucoma in 5 years.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses,
sprouts, and protein rich foods to protect the eyes from glaucoma.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you
