Should I go to John Hopkins eye specialist for a second opinion?

Around four years ago I started going to this specialist at Ohio State for my eyes. I have pigment disbursement syndrome which is a rare form of the eye that causes eye pressures to increase in the eye and if not treated it will cause Glaucoma. At first everything was fine and the preasures were maintained. Then out of the blue the eyes pressure started increasing and she quickly changed the medicine that I had been on for almost 8 years. Every time I went back to see her the pressures got higher and higher. She wanted to do surgery in one of the eyes so she did. It came to my attention the reason the eyes was increasing the pressures were the contact lenses I was using. Because I ware them all the time and because of the way they were made they constantly put pressure against the eye. So I took them out. It so happens on my next visit to see her there was an intern there and she checked the eyes. The pressures were way low. I was so happy. The next visit was three weeks off and when I went back. The doctor checked them. My pressures were back being high. When I go to the Optometrist for my contact fitting. The pressures are low. The only time they are high is when this doctor is checking them. My gut is saying she is doing research on me cause it is a research treatment center, and she is not be totally honest about the pressures so she can do that research. Should I trust this person or should I try the John Hopkins eye specialist?
