We have compared IOP values in the two eyes in 13,000 presumably healthy subjects over the age of 40 years. The mean difference in ocular tension between the two eyes was 0.12 mm Hg (higher on the left), which is statistically significant but probably without physiological implications. Individual cases with ΔIOP of 3 mm Hg or more were observed more frequently in older age groups and in subjects with elevated IOP values, and should arouse suspicion of incipient glaucoma.

“…For the pressure levels 2 22 mm Hg, 2 25 mm Hg, and 2 30 mm Hg the incidence was likewise seen to rise with increasing age, though with the highest rise in the age-class of 65-74. There was thus found a particularly pronounced rise in the incidence of high pressure values about the age of 60, as also pointed out by Stromberg (1962), and since recorded in various other series examined (Goedbloed 1961, Wright 1966, Hollows k Graham 1966, Bjornsson 1967, Nsrskov 1970.…”

“…IOP seems to depend in some ways on age, but the relationship is not completely clear. In some investigations performed on Caucasians (Groedbloed et al 1961;Armaly 1965;Hollows & Graham 1966;Klein et al 1992) IOP increases with age, while an inverse relationship is found in oriental people (Kurokawa 1969;Shiose & Kawase 1986). According to investigations in Western communities we found that IOP tends to increase with age sightly but significantly.…”

IOP was measured in 1062 middle-aged and elderly subjects of a small Sicilian town, enrolled in a population based survey. The mean IOP was 15.1 +/- 3.7 mmHg without interocular or sex differences. A small but significant age-dependent increase of IOP was found. Circadian and seasonal influences were recorded: IOP was higher in the morning and in winter. The prevalence of chronic open-angle glaucoma was 1.2%, but it grew to 3.6 if only subjects aged 70 years or more were considered. IOP of 24 mmHg or more was found in 2.7%, while 4.3% of subjects showed IOP of 21 mmHg or more. This survey shows that mean IOP of the Mediterranean population studied is similar to the IOP found in other epidemiologic investigations; the prevalence of glaucoma, however, seems to be rather high.
