Description
Scientists and doctors have examined many ways to lower the intraocular pressure
(lOP) in humans in their battle against glaucoma. Most research concerning lowering lOP has centered on the use of topical medications to increase outflow of aqueous or to decrease aqueous production. It is known that lOP fluctuates throughout the day and exercise and general health play a role in maintaining good lOPs. However, to our knowledge the affects of external temperature on lOP have never been investigated. We sought to find out if external temperature, in particular icing outside surface of the eye, had any affect on the lOP. |
