Abstract
Transient elevation of IOP in adult eyes with and without glaucomatous optic neuropathy did not lead to functional optic nerve change, as measured by Matrix perimetry, in the short term for the majority of patients. It is possible that a small cohort of patients with preexisting glaucomatous optic neuropathy may be more susceptible to transient increase in IOP, although the result is inconclusive. Prominent learning effects may have masked subtle worsening of visual function in our subjects; corresponding structural analyses of the optic nerve and longer-term follow-up may provide further information.
