Short-term fluctuation of intraocular pressure is higher in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome despite similar mean intraocular pressure: a retrospective case-control study

摘要

Higher levels of short-term fluctuation of intraocular pressure (IOP) are characteristic of pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX). However, it is not known whether they are just a side effect of the higher mean intraocular pressure (IOP) or an independent feature. The purpose of this study was to compare short-term fluctuation of IOP between eyes with PEX and control eyes that were matched as closely as possible for mean IOP.
