Diurnal intraocular pressure after successful primary laser trabeculoplasty. 1991

Department of Ophthalmology, University of Trondheim, Norway.

In 20 patients who were successfully treated with laser trabeculoplasty as the primary therapy for glaucoma, we measured the intraocular pressure every two hours between 8:00 A.M. and 8:00 P.M. Success was defined as intraocular pressure of 22 mm Hg or less without medication. Of 20 patients, three had open-angle glaucoma and 17 had exfoliative glaucoma. Intraocular pressure was stable with small fluctuations during the daytime.

D005901 Glaucoma An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which the eye cannot withstand without damage to its structure or impairment of its function. The consequences of the increased pressure may be manifested in a variety of symptoms, depending upon type and severity, such as excavation of the optic disk, hardness of the eyeball, corneal anesthesia, reduced visual acuity, seeing of colored halos around lights, disturbed dark adaptation, visual field defects, and headaches.
