متن کاملFluctuation of intraocular pressure and glaucoma progression in the early manifest glaucoma trial.
PURPOSE To investigate whether increased fluctuation of intraocular pressure (IOP) is an independent factor for glaucoma progression. DESIGN A cohort of patients was followed up in a randomized clinical trial.
