title: [A new risk factor in glaucoma?].
abstract: We observed that intraocular pressure was higher at the same glaucoma patient when he/she was fatigued or under a great stress. Several questions appeared: is this fact a rule? If yes, is there a critical level of fatigue to decompensate intraocular pressure? Does it appear in normal individuals? What is the pathogenesis?
