“…Information obtained in the present study can therefore only be transferred to the period of time between 7 am and midnight, the time when many patients usually go to bed. The dependence of IOP on body position (sitting versus supine) also limits the comparability of the results of our study with findings reported by other investigations which measured IOP in supine position during sleep 10,15,18. Thirdly, our results may be valid only for eyes without previous filtering surgery.…”

“…There are reports that found greater fluctuation and range in intraocular pressure in individuals with glaucoma compared to healthy control individuals [39, 40]. Studies by Liu and colleagues [38] found that the larger the diurnal variation and fluctuation of intraocular pressure, the greater the risk for structural damage due to glaucoma.…”

“…While nocturnal IOP elevation may play a significant role in glaucoma pathogenesis [13, 30, 31], it is frequently undetected in clinical practice because routine IOP examinations are conducted during the daytime. Furthermore, glaucomatous VF progression has been associated with nocturnal events such as diminished nocturnal ocular perfusion pressure owing to low systemic blood pressure (BP) and/or nocturnal IOP elevation in the presence of normal daytime IOP [3235].…”
