Abstract

Background

To evaluate the short-term reproducibility of diurnal intraocular pressure (IOP) and ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) measurements in normal volunteers, untreated normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients.

Methods

Fifty-four healthy volunteers (control group), 67 NTG patients and 54 POAG patients were recruited. The IOPs of both eyes were measured with a Goldmann applanation tonometer at 3-h intervals over 2 consecutive days. Blood pressure (BP) measurements were collected at the same times. The mean IOP/OPP, peak IOP/OPP, trough IOP/OPP and IOP/OPP fluctuations on each day were also calculated. The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were used to evaluate the reproducibilities.

Results

In the control group, the ICCs of mean IOP, peak IOP, trough IOP and IOP fluctuation were 0.921, 0.889, 0.888, and 0.661, respectively, and the ICCs of the mean OPP, peak OPP, trough OPP and OPP fluctuations were 0.962, 0.918, 0.953, and 0.680, respectively. In the NTG group, the ICCs of the mean IOP, peak IOP, trough IOP and IOP fluctuation were 0.862, 0.741, 0.798, and 0.290, respectively, and the ICCs of the mean OPP, peak OPP, trough OPP and OPP fluctuations were 0.947, 0.828, 0.927, and −0.008, respectively. In the POAG group, the ICCs of the mean IOP, peak IOP, trough IOP and IOP fluctuation were 0.857, 0.666, 0.808, and 0.546, respectively, and the ICCs of the mean OPP, peak OPP, trough OPP and OPP fluctuation were 0.934, 0.842, 0.910, and 0.093, respectively.

Conclusion

The IOP measurements within a single day were not highly reproducible in the short-term. The normal volunteers exhibited better IOP and OPP reproducibilities than the glaucoma patients. The IOP and OPP fluctuations could not be accurately evaluated based on the IOP or OPP measurements within a single day.
