Purpose:
To analysis the correlation between the refractive error and the intraocular pressure.
Methods:
The IOP was measured in 142 eyes with noncontact tonometer. The refractive error were determined with an autorefractometer(TOPCON-7100).
Results:
The analysis of variance showed that IOP of medium myopia is the highest, and a significant IOP difference between medium myopia and severe myopia, and IOP of patients less than 19yrs is significantly higher than patients more than 30 yrs; and there is also no significant influence of gender on patients' IOP, mean IOP(13.04 +/- 2.97) mmHg.
Conclusion:
These results suggest that when medium myopia IOP is relatively higher, or when a young patient less than 19 whose IOP is relatively higher than usual, that may mean the eye is under an unstable situation.
