Ocular and General Determinants of Intraocular Pressure: The Two-Continent Eye Study

Key Points

• This research aims to explore the ocular and systemic factors that influence intraocular pressure (IOP) readings.
• Conducted a two-continent observational study
• Measured intraocular pressure in relation to ocular parameters
• Analyzed the correlation between ocular and systemic factors
• Found corneal curvature radius as a primary ocular determinant of IOP
• Measured IOP showed large variation in the upper limit of the normal range after correction
• Observed that the correlation between factors influencing IOP was relatively low
