Summary

Diurnal fluctuations of intraocular pressure in EX-Press Valve Blebs in Glaucoma Patients

Intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction is the mainstay of glaucoma management. (1) Open-angle glaucoma (OAG) is generally managed by decreasing the intraocular pressure (IOP) to a level that the physician believes will prevent further glaucomatous damage. However, in a significant proportion of patients, the visual fields continue to deteriorate in spite of office pressures within the range of normal values (8). It has been suggested that the progressive damage in some cases could be caused by peaks of IOP or diurnal IOP variability not detected by tonometry during office hours. It is possible that certain drugs or surgical interventions are more effective than others in dampening these fluctuations. The purpose of our study is to compare the diurnal IOP fluctuations in glaucoma patients treated with medications or Ex-press filtration surgery.
