“…Few studies have shown that there is a fall in intraocular pressure with alcohol consumption [11] as alcohol induces tear hyperosmolarity and a significant shortened tear break up time leading to dry eyes and its complications [11][12][13]. This study also shows a fall in intraocular pressures in subjects consuming alcohol which correlates with earlier studies.…”

Alcohol consumption is on the rise in developing countries like India. Alcohol enters the blood stream and gets distributed throughout the body and exerts its effects on several organ systems of the body. 100 male subjects were included in the study out of which 50 were grouped as controls who did not consume alcohol and 50 were cases who ingested alcohol. Examination was done to measure blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate, visual acuity and intraocular pressure. Alcohol has a negative impact on the eye leading to a decrease in the visual performance and interference in daily tasks by decreasing the visual acuity and decreasing the intraocular pressure. It also exerts general effects on the body causing hypertension and dyspnea.

“…1 There is evidence from earlier studies that drinking 1 l of water increases the IOP, with a mean maximum increase of 4.4 mmHg for more than 2 h in healthy eyes. 6 Although we do not know the exact volume of water taken at the pre-dawn meal, water loading at the pre-dawn meal might be the cause of increased IOP in the morning. Another factor that may affect the IOP measurements is the central corneal thickness (CCT).…”

Purpose To determine whether altered eating habits and periods, especially the pre-dawn meal, during Ramadan fasting have any significant effect on intraocular pressure (IOP), tear secretion, corneal and anterior chamber parameters. Methods IOP, basal tear secretion (BTS), reflex tear secretion (RTS), and Pentacam measurements of 31 healthy volunteers were performed at 0800 and 1600 hours during Ramadan fasting and 1 month later during non-fasting period. Results Comparison of measurements between fasting and non-fasting periods at 0800 hours revealed significantly higher values for IOP (P ¼ 0.005), RTS (P ¼ 0.006), and BTS (P ¼ 0.014) during fasting. Conversely at 1600 hours, IOP was significantly lower during fasting (P ¼ 0.013) and no statistically significant difference was noted for RTS and BTS. IOP showed a diurnal variation of 2.45 mmHg (Po0.001) and BTS showed a 3.06 mm decrease (P ¼ 0.04) during the fasting period. No significant differences could be found in the corneal and anterior chamber parameters during fasting and non-fasting periods. Conclusions Our results revealed that fluid loading at the pre-dawn meal during Ramadan fasting might increase the IOP and tear secretion in the early morning period and these values decrease remarkably at the end of 12 h of fasting due to dehydration.

“…Intraocular pressure has been shown to be associated with various factors, including biomedical parameters such as blood pressure and serum glucose, and behavioral factors such as coffee intake, alcohol intake, and exercise (Leske and Podgor, 1983;Carel et al, 1984;Poinoosawmy and Winder, 1984;Buckingham and Young, 1986). Although there is substantial evidence suggesting that acute physical or psychological stress affects intraocular pressure (Shily, 1987;Sauerborn et al, 1992;Kaluza et al, 1996;Brody et al, 1999;Leung and Yap, 1999), few studies have examined the association between psychosocial stress and intraocular pressure.…”

“…Numerous factors have been reported to affect intraocular pressure, including age, systolic blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), serum glucose, hematocrit, glycosylated (Bengtsson, 1972;Kass and Sears, 1977;Leske and Podgor, 1983;Carel et al, 1984;Poinoosawmy and Winder, 1984;Buckingham and Young, 1986;Klein et al, 1992;Wilensky et al, 1993;Qureshi, 1995). In addition to these factors, it has been shown that both physical and psychological stresses affect intraocular pressure (Buckingham and Young, 1986;Shily, 1987;Sauerborn et al, 1992;Kaluza et al, 1996;Brody et al, 1999;Leung and Yap, 1999).…”

“…In addition to these factors, it has been shown that both physical and psychological stresses affect intraocular pressure (Buckingham and Young, 1986;Shily, 1987;Sauerborn et al, 1992;Kaluza et al, 1996;Brody et al, 1999;Leung and Yap, 1999). Several studies have investigated the effects of acute physical stress such as hard exercise and the Valsalva maneuver on intraocular pressure among healthy people (Buckingham and Young, 1986;Brody et al, 1999), and of acute psychological stress such as mental arithmetic tasks and noise among myopes (Sauerborn et al, 1992) and patients with open-angle glaucoma (Kaluza et al, 1996); however, few studies have explored the relationship between psychosocial stress and intraocular pressure among healthy subjects. Previously, we developed an inventory to measure psychosocial stress (IMPS) and reported that the IMPS was a valid method for the evaluation of psychosocial stress levels (Yamamoto et al, 2007).…”

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between psychosocial stress and intraocular pressure among apparently healthy subjects. Psychosocial stress among 1,461 public school workers (883 men and 578 women) was measured using the inventory to measure psychosocial stress (IMPS) and intraocular pressure was measured using a non-contact tonometer (Topcon CT-90). After controlling for the effects of likely confounding variables such as age, body mass index (BMI), glycosylated hemoglobin, systolic blood pressure, alcohol consumption, smoking status, and exercise, partial correlations and hierarchical multiple regression analysis were performed in order to test the hypothesis that IMPS-measured stress score was associated with intraocular pressure. IMPS-measured stress score was found to correlate positively with intraocular pressure in women after controlling for the effects of confounding variables, whereas this relationship was not found in men. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis indicated that IMPS-measured stress score was positively associated with intraocular pressure in women independent of confounding variables, but not in men. Perturbations of the hypothalamicpituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis associated with stress are considered to be partly responsible for an increase in intraocular pressure among people suffering from psychosocial stress. Further research is needed to elucidate the relationship between this stress-associated increase in intraocular pressure and open-angle glaucoma.
