Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...A friend of mine is on statins and depresion medication. Her eye preasure is much too high and even medication and drops fail to normalise it. She is wondering could the medication be the cause of the high eye preasure as there is no disease of the eyes? Thanks for this service....Paulina
