The relationship between intraocular pressure and glaucoma: An evolving concept

In this episode, we explore the evolving understanding of intraocular pressure (IOP) and its critical relationship to glaucoma, drawing insights from the 2024 academic article by Dr. Sanjay Asrani and colleagues, "The Relationship Between Intraocular Pressure and Glaucoma: An Evolving Concept."

We discuss the key factors influencing IOP, innovations in measurement technologies, and the limitations of current monitoring approaches. The conversation highlights the significance of IOP fluctuations—especially those occurring outside clinic hours—and their independent role in glaucoma progression.

Advocating for home IOP monitoring, we examine how this approach could revolutionize glaucoma management by improving patient outcomes and addressing health disparities. Finally, we emphasize the need for further research to refine IOP monitoring protocols and deepen our understanding of its dynamic role in glaucoma. This episode offers a forward-looking perspective on how advancements in IOP monitoring could transform care for glaucoma patients worldwide.
