title: [Exploration on the 24 hour intraocular pressure fluctuation in glaucoma patients].
abstract: Intraocular pressure is the most important and most easily controlled clinical parameters of glaucoma. It has a fluctuation and circadian rhythm. The 24 hours intraocular pressure measurement can better reflect the changes of intraocular pressure. It is clear that peak IOP is an independent risk factor for the progression of glaucoma, but the effect of IOP on glaucoma progression is worth exploring. This article focuses on whether IOP fluctuation is an independent risk factor for glaucoma progression, how to obtain the 24-hour intraocular pressure curve, the future direction of 24-hour intraocular pressure monitoring and other issues in order to cause clinical concern.(Chin J Ophthalmol, 2017, 53: 85-88).
