“…Despite the absence of immediate vision loss, individuals with ocular hypertension are at a heightened risk of developing glaucoma, necessitating vigilant monitoring and potential intervention. The risk factors for ocular hypertension include a family history of glaucoma, diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain ethnic backgrounds, which underscore the multifaceted nature of this condition [7,8] . The clinical significance of ocular hypertension extends beyond its potential to progress to glaucoma.…”

In clinical practice, elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is commonly observed in cases of glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Glaucoma has a global impact on 60 million individuals, with 8.4 million experiencing complete blindness in both eyes as a result of this persistent condition. Methods for decreasing intraocular pressure (IOP) involve the use of pharmaceutical substances, laser therapies, and surgical procedures, which can be either invasive or non-invasive. Over the past two decades, there have been substantial alterations in all of these tactics. Increased intraocular pressure (IOP) is the primary and most influential risk factor for the onset and advancement of glaucoma. As of now, it is the only risk factor that has been definitively proven to be adjustable. Excessively elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) leads to fast and significant deterioration of vision, accompanied by severe impairment of the optic nerve. Ocular hypertension refers to a long-term, slight increase in intraocular pressure (IOP), which can cause gradual alterations in visual function and the appearance of the optic nerve.

“…It is also important to evaluate physical factors which effect intraocular pressure. 3 One of the most prevalent disease in the world is obesity, different researches shows that there is compelling association between change in intraocular pressure and weight. Obesity is the major risk factor for many systemic diseases like hypertension and diabetes.…”

Purpose: Purpose of this study is to determine the effect of weight and height on intraocular pressure (IOP) and to compare effect of height and weight on IOP in males and females. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was carried on 114 subjects through non-probability convenient sampling technique, both gender and age ranging from 15 to 30years who had not undergone any ocular surgery or medical treatment for hypertension glaucoma diabetes. The data collected from the patients at the department of ophthalmology during time of 8am-2pm in Madinah teaching hospital, Faisalabad in duration of 7months from January 2018 to August 2018. Data was collected after taking consent and extensive history. Visual acuity was tested by using Snellen chart and IOP measured by Air puff tonometer and weight measured by weight machine in Kgs and Height measured by Hight scale in feet. Data was noted on Performa. Data was analyzed by using test multiple linear regressions by using SPSS version 20. Result: Total number of studied individuals were 114, 48(42%) males and 66(57.9%) females with age ranges from 15-30 years. Weight and Height was measured and tested relation with IOP and gender by using Linear multiple regression test. Analysis shows that relation of weight and IOP is significant (p<0.001) with mean of IOP 17.432±3.4397 and weight 57.71±12.774. Weight is more affected the males then females statistically. Height and IOP weekly related statistically (p<.794) with mean of height and IOP 5.306±.2159 and 17.432±3.4397. Height is also weekly affect IOP in females then males. Conclusion: The weight is strongly affecting the IOP then height. Males have larger height and high weight so they affect the IOP more than females according to gender. In clinical practice it can allow to test IOP in highly weighted patients.

To correlate intraocular pressure variation in relation to age and gender among patients attending a tertiary hospital in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. This was a cross-sectional observational study from October 2020 to September 2021 following the inclusion criteria. Five hundred twenty-two male and female patients of age 20 years were studied in six groups. Intraocular pressure(IOP) was measured with Noncontact Tonometer including routine eye checkup and dilated fundoscopic examination. Among the 522 patients 272 were males and 252 were females (M:F =1.08:1.0). 48.83 ± 20.43 years was the mean age. The mean IOP of male was 15.45 ± 3.06 mmHg and female was 14.90 ± 2.75. IOP was higher in male than female without statistical significance. There were increase of IOP as age advances with variation in different age groups. There was significant difference of IOP in male and female of age group 50 – 59 years and 60 – 69 years. Diabetic and Hypertensive patients were having statistically significant higher IOP than nondiabetic and non hypertensives respectively.: There was increase of IOP on increasing age in both male and female age groups. In higher age group males were having higher IOP than female which is statistically significant. Diabetes and Hypertension was associated with raised IOP.
