The course of corneal and intraocular pressure changes during pregnancy

Evaluation of anterior segment parameters during and after pregnancy

“…In previous studies, researchers have tried to define the physiological effects of pregnancy on the eyes. A drop in intraocular pressure (IOP), loss in the visual field, decreased corneal sensitivity, and increase in corneal thickness and curvature are some of the physiological changes [2][3][4][5][6][7][8].…”

“…In the literature, there are some studies about the effect of pregnancy and the postpartum period on refractive values, CCT, K1, and K2 [5][6][7]10,11], but there are no studies that focus on CV and anterior chamber parameters (ACD, ACV, and ACA).…”

Ophthalmic Complications and Ocular Changes in Pregnancy- A Review

“…Intraocular pressure decreases during the second trimester and continues to decrease with the advancing pregnancy [13]. In most cases, lower intraocular pressure means glaucoma improves with pregnancy [49][50]. However, peripheral vision is also affected during pregnancy.…”

“…However, peripheral vision is also affected during pregnancy. During the last trimester of pregnancy, mean threshold sensitivity of the entire central and regional visual field increases [50].…”

“…Physiologic changes occurring in CCT and IOP should be considered in the management of glaucoma during pregnancy [68].…”
