- Abstract
Introduction: Pregnancy involves a number of endocrine interactions. In our study to observe the possibility of physiological changes of IOP which could be a predisposing factor or development, early detection, changes in IOP during pregnancy and also in management of glaucoma during pregnancy. Objective: To determine the intraocular pressure between normotensive and preeclampsia women in peripartum period. Methodology: The present case control study was carried out at NMCH Raichur involving total 40 pregnant women (20 normotensive s and 20 preeclamptic) in peripartum period. Results: Mean prepartum IOP in right eye of the normotensive and preeclamptic patients was 15.38±1.02 and 18.44±1.42 (p<0.05). Mean prepartum IOP in left eye of the normotensive and preeclamptic patients was 15.82±1.04 and 19.42±1.88 (p<0.05). Mean postpartum IOP in right eye of the normotensive and preeclamptic patients was 15.48±1.04 and 20.52±1.92 (p<0.05). Mean postpartum IOP in right eye of the normotensive and preeclamptic patients was 16.02±1.14 and 20.34±1.78 (p<0.05). Conclusion: Compared with normotensive women, preeclamptic women have significantly increased intraocular pressure in the peripartum period.
