Does spending a lot of time in front of a computer monitor have any effect
on causing glaucoma?

Take eye drops and use my computer most every day. Never noticed any effect.
How knows?

Absolutely not...if so, WAY more than 3 million Americans would be
effected by glaucoma. Now if only doing telemarketing (and calling
people during their dinner hour) caused glaucoma...now that would be
poetic justice!

My IOP is usually 20-22 --is this considered high ? Should my DR. try to
lower this ?
