Purpose: To compare the ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) response during physical exercise in individuals with and without a family history (FH+, FH-) of glaucoma.
Methods: Thirty-four subjects, divided into FH+ and FH- groups, realized 3 min at rest, 3 min of isometric handgrip exercise at 30% of maximal voluntary contraction, followed by 3 min of recovery. Blood pressure (Dixtal automatic device) and intraocular pressure (Goldmann applanation tonometer) were measured during rest, exercise, and recovery.
