Diurnal versus office-hour intraocular pressure fluctuation in primary adult onset XXXX .

@entity1 @entity726
PURPOSE: To evaluates the role of measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) outside office-hour in primary adult onset @entity726 . METHODS: This retrospective study included 100 cases of primary adult onset @entity726 . IOP readings obtained with Goldmann applanation tonometry between 7 am and 10 pm were compared to office-hour readings. RESULTS: One hundred @entity1 were enrolled (mean age: 58.64  10.98 years) in the study. Overall, mean diurnal IOP was significantly higher than mean office IOP (p<0.05). Two-thirds of the @entity1 had peak IOP measurements outside office-hour. Mean diurnal IOP fluctuation (7.03  2.69mm Hg) was significantly higher than mean office IOP fluctuation (4.31  2.6mm Hg) (p<0.003). There was a significant correlation between baseline IOP and fluctuation in IOP (r=0.61, p<0.001). CONCLUSION: The mean diurnal IOP and IOP fluctuations were higher than office-hour readings in @entity1 with primary adult onset @entity726 . Diurnal monitoring may be particularly useful in @entity1 with high baseline IOP.
