Fluctuation 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. PARTICIPANTS Two hundred fifty-five glaucoma patients from the Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial (EMGT; 129 treated and 126 control patients). METHODS Study visits, conducted every 3 mo...
متن کاملThe Effect of Diurnal Fluctuation in Intraocular Pressure on the Evaluation of Risk Factors of Progression in Normal Tension Glaucoma
PURPOSE To investigate whether diurnal fluctuation in intraocular pressure (IOP) can influence the result of the correlations between IOP-related factors and progression of normal tension glaucoma (NTG). METHODS Glaucoma progression was defined as visual field (VF) progression and changes in the optic disc and/or retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL). Two different methods were used to evaluate th...
متن کاملCircadian Intraocular Pressure Fluctuation and Disease Progression in Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma.
PURPOSE To document the continuous circadian intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuation using a contact lens sensor during normal daily activities, and to study the relationship between IOP fluctuation and disease progression in primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) eyes. METHODS Circadian IOP fluctuations were recorded by Sensimed Triggerfish sensors in 25 PACG eyes. The sensor output signals we...
متن کاملDiurnal Fluctuation of Intraocular Pressure.
Diurnal fluctuation of intraocular pressure (IOP) is an important issue in managing glaucoma, yet its bases are not well understood. Delineating the genetic controllers and physiological pathways may open the door to potential therapeutic targets. Miller and associates have provided evidence for a GPR18 role in the diurnal regulation of IOP in mice and explored the related endocannabinoid pathw...
متن کاملMetabolic Syndrome as a Risk Factor for Elevated Intraocular Pressure
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the association between intraocular pressure and metabolic syndrome by comparing central corneal thicknesses. METHODS One hundred sixty-two subjects were enrolled in this cross-sectional study, with 89 subjects in a metabolic syndrome group and 73 subjects in a control group. Ophthalmological examinations, including intraocular pressure and c...
