A comparison of the circadian rhythm of intraocular pressure in primary chronic angle closure glaucoma, primary open angle glaucoma and normal eyes

Diurnal versus office-hour intraocular pressure fluctuation in primary adult onset glaucoma

“…26 Sihota et al reported a diurnal variation of more than 6 mm Hg in 85% chronic PACG and 90.7% of POAG eyes. 27 Similar to the results from the present study, the diurnal IOP values found by Sihota and her colleagues were comparable between the POAG and PACG eyes. Also both the POAG and PACG groups seem to have no significant difference with respect to the fluctuation in IOP, as seen in these studies.…”

Comparison of Dorzolamide/Timolol and Latanoprost/Timolol Fixed Combinations on Diurnal Intraocular Pressure Control in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma

“…Although precise IOP assessment is difficult in clinical practice due to the improbability of continuous measurements of IOP, a 24-h diurnal curve may provide a better understanding of short-term IOP profile. [10][11][12] The results of this study demonstrate a statistically significant difference in the mean diurnal IOP and peak IOP with LTFC instilled once daily than twice-daily administration of DTFC.…”

Changes in corneal endothelial cell density in patients with normal-tension glaucoma

“…IOP fl uctuations can affect the function of the corneal endothelium. Sihota et al 15 reported signifi cantly higher IOP fl uctuations in POAG patients than in normal controls. In our study too, IOP fl uctuations in POAG patients were higher than in NTG patients.…”
