High IOP variability was associated with faster rate of retinal nerve fiber thinning over time in a cohort of patients with open-angle glaucoma, according to a study published in JAMA Ophthalmology.
“Our study suggests that in addition to monitoring IOP magnitude, clinicians should consider IOP variability in the evaluation of patients with glaucoma,” Takashi Nishida, MD, PhD, of the Shiley Eye Institute at the University of California, San Diego, and colleagues wrote.
In a retrospective longitudinal study, researchers analyzed 815 eyes with preperimetric glaucoma (n = 251) and
