Intraocular Pressure Fluctuation: Is It Important? [PDF]
Journal of Ophthalmic and Vision Research, 2018 Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for the development and progression of glaucoma. Previous prospective, randomized, long-term studies have demonstrated the strength of IOP reduction in slowing the progression of disease.

Melatonin and the control of intraocular pressure [PDF]
Progress in Retinal and Eye Research, 2020 Melatonin is not only synthesized by the pineal gland but by several ocular structures. This natural indoleamine is of great importance for regulating several eye processes, among which pressure homeostasis is included. Glaucoma, the most prevalent eye disease, also known as the silent thief of vision, is a multifactorial pathology that is associated ...

Systems genetics identifies a role for Cacna2d1 regulation in elevated intraocular pressure and glaucoma susceptibility [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 Glaucoma is a multi-factorial blinding disease in which genetic factors play an important role. Elevated intraocular pressure is a highly heritable risk factor for primary open angle glaucoma and currently the only target for glaucoma therapy.

Pregnancy and intraocular pressure
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2014 Dear Editor, The report on “pregnancy and intraocular pressure (IOP)” is very interesting.[1] Saylik and Saylik concluded that “increased ocular hypotensive effect of twin pregnancies is most likely related to the presence of higher levels of hormones, particularly estrogen, progesterone and relaxin compared with singleton pregnancies.”[1] In fact ...
