Purpose: To investigate 24-hour intraocular pressure (IOP) changes caused by hemodialysis (HD).

Methods: A prospective, observational, comparative 24-hour trial was performed on consecutive subjects with normal IOP undergoing maintenance HD 3 days a week between 13:00 and 17:00 hours in an academic setting. Following a comprehensive ocular assessment, those with conditions that may influence IOP were excluded and one eye was randomly selected. Twenty-four-hour IOP monitoring was performed on HD day 1 and then on a day without HD. The IOP was measured at 10:00, 13:00, 15:00, 17:00, 22:00, 02:00, and 06:00 employing Goldmann and Perkins tonometry on habitual position. During the course of 1 year, 18 patients completed the study.

Results: Monitoring of IOP on HD day showed a significantly higher mean 24-hour IOP (15.4 ± 2.7 vs 14.1 ± 2.2 mm Hg; p = 0.025), higher mean peak 24-hour IOP (18.5 ± 3.5 vs 15.8 ± 2.5 mm Hg; p = 0.003), and wider 24-hour IOP fluctuation (6.2 ± 2.3 vs 4.0 ± 1.9 mm Hg; p = 0.001). When individual time points were compared, IOP was significantly higher at 17:00 on HD day, reflecting a gradual IOP elevation during HD (p = 0.021). Further, during the HD procedure (13:00-17:00), the mean IOP was significantly higher on a HD day (16.4 ± 3.0 vs 14.7 ± 2.4 mm Hg; p = 0.004).

Conclusions: This prospective, before/after trial suggests that HD significantly impacts 24-hour IOP characteristics in normotensive eyes. The long-term significance of these findings requires further elucidation in normotensive patients and, predominantly, in patients with glaucoma undergoing HD.

Objective: To conduct a pilot study to evaluate and compare the 24-hour habitual intraocular pressure (IOP) and ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) fluctuation in glaucoma patients treated with medical therapy, selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) or trabeculectomy.

Design: Pilot study.

Participants: Criteria for inclusion were patients aged 18 years or older with well-controlled IOP with either maximum tolerated medical therapy, previous SLT, or previous trabeculectomy.

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

Med Sci Monit

December 2024

Department of Ophthalmology, Shanghai Fifth People's Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.

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.

Br J Ophthalmol

November 2024

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).

Comparing 24-hour IOP fluctuation slope curve between newly diagnosed ocular hypertension and primary open-angle glaucoma.

BMJ Open Ophthalmol

September 2024

Beijing Tongren Eye Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Beijing Ophthalmology & Visual Science Key Lab, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China

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.
