first of all how did u measure the eye pressure which i assume is IOT ? to get accurate readings u need a tonometer which is only available in eye clinic....for the next part normal IOT is 8 to 21mmhg...docs normally take 21mmhg as a cutoff... but since u say its blurry it may be due to some others reasons n not glaucoma as such...symptomatic glaucoma begin only when the IOP is above 21 for quite some time...however sudden dimunition of vision is a emergency which i suspect can be due to an angle closure glaucoma...take him to a GP asap...in the mean time u can try a mydriatic drops over the counter.....homotropine 0.5%....
