Continuous IOP fluctuation recording in normal tension glaucoma patients.
ABSTRACT: Intraocular pressure (IOP) remains the only treatable risk factor of progressive glaucoma. Recently a device became available to continuously record IOP fluctuation in contrast to classical, discreet IOP measurements. Pajic .B. Continuous IOP fluctuation recording in NTG patients.

Continuous Intraocular Pressure Monitoring by Means of the Sensimed Triggerfish® System
ABSTRACT: Intraocular pressure (IOP), like other biological parameters, has a 24-hour rhythm with physiological oscillations around 5mmHg. Recently, it has been demonstrated that IOP fluctuations represent an independent parameter for progression of glaucoma. Vetrugno M. et al. Continuous IOP Monitoring by Means of the Sensimed Triggerfish® System. EU Ophthalmic Review 2011; 5(1);43-45.
Recent advances in the treatment of glaucoma-the-need-to-maintain intraocular pressure over 24-hours
ABSTRACT: In the treatment of glaucoma, maintenance of intraocular pressure (IOP) over a 24-hour period is of considerable importance. Some glaucoma medications do not sustain low IOP, allowing it to fluctuate with the potential to damage the optic nerve, leading to blindness. Shaarawy T. Bhartiya S. Recent Advances in the Treatment of Glaucoma – The Need to Maintain IOP Over 24 Hours. EU Ophthalmic Review 2011; 5(1); 35-37.
24H IOP fluctuation Monitoring using an ocular Telemetry Sensor
ABSTRACT: The purpose is to evaluate the tolerability, comfort and reliability of the signal transmission of an ocular Sensor used for 24-hour IOP fluctuation monitoring in humans.

Monitoring intraocular pressure for 24 h
ABSTRACT online: High intraocular pressure (IOP) is a leading risk factor for glaucoma, and lowering IOP continues to be the only evidence-based treatment for preventing the development of glaucoma or reducing the rate of its progression.
