Mrs. Martinez probably has glaucoma. This could lead to complete blindness.
Depends what "abnormally high" means. She may have been nervous/anxious - which can raise IOP too. The common cause for raised IOP is glaucoma - of which the opththalmologist would have diagnosed there and then. If not he sould have told Mrs Martinez what the outcome of the sight test was!!
