Diurnal Fluctuation of Intraocular Pressure.
نویسنده
چکیده
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 pathways. Albeit early in the game, the article is a noteworthy step in unraveling the mysteries of diurnal IOP variation, a phenomenon of considerable clinical importance.

PURPOSE To evaluates the role of measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) outside office-hour in primary adult onset glaucoma. METHODS This retrospective study included 100 cases of primary adult onset glaucoma. IOP readings obtained with Goldmann applanation tonometry between 7 am and 10 pm were compared to office-hour readings. RESULTS One hundred patients were enrolled (mean age: 58.64 ± 10....
