Intraocular pressure measurement: A review
2022, Survey of OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :Devices that enable reliable and accurate 24-hour IOP monitoring will enable a better understanding of IOP and the circadian pattern of IOP; however, true intracameral pressure must contend with bias and the clinician's perception of differences for clinical usefulness. Spikes and short-term variations in IOP have been linked to glaucoma progression and progressive visual field loss.91,187 Currently, there are three methods available that can provide information about the behavior of IOP over 24 hours: auto tonometry, temporary continuous monitoring devices and permanent continuous monitoring devices.10
Visualization of conventional outflow tissue responses to netarsudil in living mouse eyes
2016, European Journal of PharmacologyCitation Excerpt :Treatments, such as rho kinase inhibitors, that act by enhancing outflow facility are beneficial because they correct the physiological deficit in aqueous humor dynamics. Additionally, they may flatten diurnal IOP curves plus help alleviate the pressure spikes that occur with everyday events, such as choroidal expansion upon awakening from sleep (Brown et al., 1988; Zeimer et al., 1990). In the present study we modeled in living mice the IOP spike that occurs every morning upon awakening.
Diurnal versus office-hour intraocular pressure fluctuation in primary adult onset glaucoma
2015, Journal of OptometryCitation Excerpt :Our study did not aim to compare the daytime phasing and the 24 h IOP measurements. Although the early morning peak, as reported by Zeimer et al., 31 may have been missed in our study, we believe that inclusion of the 24-h IOP monitoring would not have altered our conclusions. Ambulatory 24 h continuous IOP monitoring can now be performed using a contact lens sensor (CLS; SENSIMED Triggerfish®, Sensimed AG, Lausanne, Switzerland).
