Purpose: To evaluate the quality of 24-hour intraocular pressure (IOP) control between morning- and evening-dosed travoprost in primary open-angle glaucoma patients.
Design: Prospective, crossover, double-masked comparison.
Methods: After a 6-week medicine-free period, 33 patients were randomized to receive travoprost dosed in the morning or evening. After 8 weeks of treatment, a 24-hour IOP curve was performed at 6 am, 10 am, 2 pm, 6 pm, 10 pm, and 2 am. Patients were then treated with the opposite dosing regimen for another 8 weeks, after which the 24-hour IOP curve was repeated.
Main Outcome Measures: Twenty-four-hour IOP.
Results: The untreated mean 24-hour IOP was 23.6+/-2.0 mmHg. There were no differences for mean 24-hour IOP between the morning (17.5+/-1.9 mmHg) and evening (17.3+/-1.9 mmHg) dosings (P = 0.7). At 10 am, the evening dosing provided a statistically lower IOP (17.2+/-2.1 mmHg) than the morning dosing (19.1+/-2.5 mmHg) (P = 0.02). Evening dosing demonstrated a statistically lower 24-hour fluctuation of IOP (3.2+/-1.0 mmHg) than morning dosing (4.0+/-1.5 mmHg) (P = 0.01). Safety was similar, with conjunctival hyperemia being the most common adverse event (n = 9 [27% for morning dosing] and n = 11 [33% for evening dosing], P = 0.6).
Conclusions: This study suggests that both morning and evening dosings of travoprost provide effective 24-hour IOP reduction. However, the evening dosing of travoprost demonstrates slightly greater daytime efficacy, with a narrower range of 24-hour pressure.

Machine Learning Models for Predicting 24-Hour Intraocular Pressure Changes: A Comparative Study.
Med Sci Monit

Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to predict 24-hour intraocular pressure (IOP) variations to improve glaucoma management, using machine learning techniques based on daytime IOP measurements instead of traditional methods.
- - Researchers collected IOP data and performed feature selection to classify fluctuations as either more than or equal to 8 mmHg. Five machine learning algorithms were tested, focusing on metrics like accuracy, specificity, and precision for evaluation.
- - The XGBoost algorithm showed the best performance with an accuracy of 88.6% and a notable AUC of 0.890, highlighting its potential for predicting IOP fluctuations and encouraging further research in clinical settings.
Nyctohemeral effects of topical beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents measured with an intraocular telemetry sensor.

Hamilton Glaucoma Center, Shiley Eye Institute and Department of Ophthalmology, University of California, La Jolla, California, USA.
Objective: To evaluate nyctohemeral effects of topical beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents and their fixed combinations on intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma implanted with an ocular telemetry sensor.
Methods: 22 patients who had previously been implanted with a sulcus-based IOP sensor (eyemate) were included in this prospective clinical trial. Three classes of medications were analysed: beta-blockers (BB), fixed combination of BB and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (BB-CAI), and combinations of BB and prostaglandin analogues (BB-PGAs).
Predicting 24-hour intraocular pressure peaks and averages with machine learning.

Department of Ophthalmology, Shanghai Fifth People's Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
Purpose: Predicting 24-hour peak and average intraocular pressure (IOP) is essential for the diagnosis and management of glaucoma. This study aimed to develop and assess a machine learning model for predicting 24-hour peak and average IOP, leveraging advanced techniques to enhance prediction accuracy. We also aimed to identify relevant features and provide insights into the prediction results to better inform clinical practice.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the 24-hour intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuations between patients newly diagnosed with ocular hypertension (OHT) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
- It involved monitoring IOP every 2 hours over a full day, finding that POAG patients had a steeper increase in IOP during the daytime and a faster decrease at night compared to OHT patients.
- The findings suggest that larger IOP fluctuations might indicate a higher risk of POAG, but the study has limitations, including relying on a single 24-hour measurement and needing further research for confirmation.
