title: [Possible correlation between prostate cancer and temporary increase in eye pressure].
abstract: It is presumed that there is a correlation between a temporary increase in eye pressure and the presence of histologically confirmed prostate cancer. This is supported by the normalization of the eye pressure following successful radical prostatectomy. Therefore, increased PSA (prostate-specific antigen) values should be specifically targeted when newly diagnosed increased eye pressure occurs.
