24-hour monitoring gives insights on circadian rhythm of IOP before and after SLT
Continuous 24-hour monitoring of IOP showed that the majority of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma have a nyctohemeral IOP rhythm with nocturnal acrophase. It also demonstrated that selective laser trabeculoplasty significantly lowers pressure but does not alter the nyctohemeral IOP rhythm.The prospective study was conducted in a sleep laboratory affiliated with the University Hospital of Grenoble, France, and included 14 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma. The Triggerfish contact lens sensor (Sensimed) was used for continuous 24-hour IOP monitoring before SLT and then at 1 month and 6 months after SLT (Read more...)
