Large diurnal variation of intraocular pressure in open angle glaucoma in subjects with type a behaviour pattern
Aim: To evaluate the possible causes of the greater perimetric damage found in OAG subjects with type A behaviour and the possible role of psycho-physiological stress. Materials and methods: 80 patients with OAG, 44 women and 36 men, 40 with type A behaviour and 40 with type B studied with the Type A/B Personality Questionnaire (A modified version of the Jenkins Activity Survey), underwent a co...
متن کاملDiurnal blood pressure parameters in normal tension glaucoma, primary open angle glaucoma, and healthy subjects
OBJECTIVE The pathophysiology of glaucoma is still undisclosed. Cardiovascular hemodynamic changes are hypothesized to contribute to glaucoma. This study aimed to determine the differences in the diurnal blood pressure (BP) of patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG), primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), and controls without glaucoma. METHODS A total of 129 patients were included in this st...
متن کاملIncident open-angle glaucoma and intraocular pressure.
PURPOSE To evaluate the role of baseline intraocular pressure (b-IOP) as a risk factor for incident open-angle glaucoma (OAG) in participants of African origin from the Barbados Eye Studies. DESIGN Population-based 9-year cohort study. PARTICIPANTS Three thousand two hundred twenty-two persons examined during the study period who were free of glaucoma at baseline and at risk of developing O...
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...
