Purpose
To compare fluctuations in intraocular pressure (IOP) in medically vs surgically treated glaucoma patients.
Design
Prospective, nonrandomized case series.
Methods
IOP-related fluctuations were measured for 24 hours using a contact lens sensor (CLS). Subjects: We performed monitoring with CLS in 91 eyes of 77 patients; 59 eyes were receiving ocular hypotensive medication and had no previous history of glaucoma surgery (medical group), while 32 eyes with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) had previously undergone glaucoma surgery (surgical group). Main Outcome Measures: The amplitude, expressed as an indicator of the IOP-related fluctuation, and the presence of a nocturnal acrophase. We also identified maximum and minimum IOP-related values for each patient.
