    Plasma cortisol levels in glaucoma patients did not differ from healthy individuals. The study also found no evidence of diurnal inversion of plasma cortisol in glaucoma patients, contrary to some previous reports.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide.
    • Previous research suggested potential alterations in cortisol levels in glaucoma patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare plasma cortisol levels between glaucoma patients and healthy controls.
    • To investigate the presence of diurnal inversion of plasma cortisol in glaucoma.

    Main Methods:

    • Blood samples were collected to measure plasma cortisol.
    • Compared cortisol levels in 27 glaucoma patients and 156 healthy individuals.

    Main Results:

    • No significant difference in plasma cortisol levels was observed between glaucoma patients and healthy controls.
    • Diurnal inversion of plasma cortisol, as previously reported, was not detected in the glaucoma group.

    Conclusions:

    • Plasma cortisol levels are not significantly different in glaucoma patients compared to healthy individuals.
    • The diurnal rhythm of plasma cortisol appears to be preserved in glaucoma patients.
