Purpose: To determine the effect of fasting on intraocular pressure (IOP) in fasting individuals. Study Design: Cross sectional observational study. Place and Duration of Study: District Headquarter Teaching Hospital/Sahiwal Medical College Sahiwal, from April 2020 to May 2020. Methods: Four hundred eyes of two hundred healthy fasting subjects were included in this study. Intraocular pressure was measured one week before and during the second week of Ramadan using a non-contact tonometer. t-test was used to calculate the difference of means of intraocular pressure one week before and during the second week of Ramadan. Results: Mean age of the subjects was 34.56 ± 12.52 years. IOP in male subjects before and during Ramadan was 14.23 mm Hg and 13.20 mm Hg respectively, while IOP in female subjects before and during Ramadan was 14.43 mm Hg and 13.20 mm Hg respectively. Mean IOP before Ramadan in the right and left eye was 14.38 ± 3.00 mm Hg and 14.21 ± 2.79 mm Hg and during Ramadan it was 13.24 ± 2.87 mm Hg and 13.15 ± 2.71 mm Hg respectively. t-test indicated that the difference in means of IOP for right eye before and during Ramadan was 25.74 (p = 0.000) while for the left eye it was 41.54 (p = 0.000). Conclusion: Fasting results in a decrease in intraocular pressure in normal population. There was no difference in intraocular pressure changes between male and female subjects. Intraocular Pressure was higher in older age group in both genders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
