title: The Need to maintain Intraocular Pressure over 24 Hours.
abstract: Glaucoma patients who appear to be stable based on daytime in-clinic intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements may not be fully controlled over each 24-hour period. Given that there is sufficient evidence that IOP fluctuation may impact progression, the aim of management of glaucoma thus, is to achieve a target IOP with minimal diurnal fluctuation.
