Relationship Between Nocturnal Intraocular Pressure Elevation and Diurnal Intraocular Pressure Level in Normal-Tension Glaucoma Patients.
PURPOSE We studied the relationship between nocturnal habitual position IOP elevation and diurnal IOP level in normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) patients. METHODS A total of 70 young NTG patients with a low diurnal IOP level (mean diurnal seated IOP < 15.0 mm Hg; low IOP group) and 79 age-, axial length-, and disease severity-matched NTG patients with a high diurnal IOP level (mean diurnal seated...
متن کاملDiurnal intraocular pressure and blood pressure with two dosing regimens of brimonidine in normal tension glaucoma.
BACKGROUND To compare the effects of 2 dosing regimens of brimonidine tartrate 0.2% on diurnal intraocular pressure (IOP) and systemic hemodynamics in patients with normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). METHODS Twenty NTG patients were enrolled and randomized to receive either brimonidine twice daily (BID) for 4 weeks followed by brimonidine 3 times daily (TID) for another 4 weeks, or in reverse ord...
متن کاملDiurnal intraocular pressure variation in pseudoexfoliation syndrome.
PURPOSE To describe and compare the diurnal intraocular pressure (IOP) variation in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXS) and normal subjects. METHODS The authors prospectively investigated 19 PXS patients (10 bilateral and 9 unilateral) and 25 age- and sex-matched normal subjects. One eye of each control subject and bilateral PXS patient was selected randomly, and pseudoexfoliative ...
متن کاملEffect of pilocarpine drops on the diurnal intraocular pressure variation in patients with glaucoma.
The diurnal intraocular pressure was measured in 14 eyes of patients with glaucoma while they were using no medication and compared to the diurnal pressures while they were using pilocarpine drops. During the 48 hour control period, the pressures measured every 3 hours by the non-contact tonometer had a mean value of 26 mm. Hg and a mean maximum diurnal variation of 18.5 mm. Hg. During the pilo...
متن کاملIntraocular pressure and central visual field of normal tension glaucoma.
AIM To study whether damage in the central 30 degrees field of normal tension glaucoma (NTG) is relatively heterogeneous or homogeneous with respect to intraocular pressure (IOP) related damage. METHODS Using the results of Humphrey perimeter examinations, the central 30 degrees field was divided into four subfields; superior and inferior hemifields excluding the caecocentral field (30-2 prog...
