Eye Pressure Variations

Intraocular pressure (IOP) or eye pressure is the most commonly identified risk factor for glaucoma. In addition, it is the only factor which can be modified, in patients of glaucoma. Decrease in IOP retards the progression of glaucoma, regardless of baseline IOPs. Moreover, eye pressure variations are known to worsen the disease over time.
