Noninvasive intraocular pressure monitoring: current insights
Stefan De Smedt Department of Ophthalmology, AZ St Maarten, Mechelen, Belgium Abstract: Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide and intraocular pressure (IOP) is currently its only modifiable risk factor. Peak IOP has for a long time been considered as a major contrib...

Peak IOP has for a long time been considered as a major contributor to glaucoma progression, but its effects may depend not only on its magnitude, but also on its time course.
