Peak Intraocular Pressure and Glaucomatous Progression in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma

Abstract

This study suggests that daytime peak IOP may be clinically important in predicting long-term glaucomatous progression. Further, daytime peak IOP may assist, as much as daytime mean IOP and, in most cases, 24-h peak IOP, in helping to guide long-term treatment in POAG.
