Circadian Pattern of Intraocular Pressure Fluctuations in Young Myopic Eyes With Open-Angle Glaucoma

Abstract

In young myopic OAG eyes, there is no significant nocturnal elevation in habitual-position IOP, while IOP increases at night-time in age-matched control eyes. The overall 24-hour IOP pattern in the myopia group did not show an acrophase. Finally, data showed a negative relationship between nocturnal habitual-position IOP elevation and axial length.
