The present study investigated whether a correlation between days of the menstrual cycle and variations in intraocular pressure exists or not. The number of days since the beginning of last menses was recorded along with intraocular pressure for 1,459 women. Measurements were taken by Goldmann applanation tonometer. The differences among various days of menstrual cycle were statistically insignificant. The highest mean IOP occurred between 20th and 22nd day and the second peak from 13th to 15th days of the cycle. The lowest mean IOP was found from 16th to 19th days of the cycle. This study concludes that intraocular pressure varies with the various days of the menstrual cycle, but fluctuations are statistically insignificant and cannot affect the diagnoses of glaucoma.
本研究调查了月经周期天数与眼压变化之间是否存在相关性。记录了1459名女性自上次月经开始后的天数以及眼压。眼压测量采用Goldmann压平眼压计。月经周期不同天数之间的差异无统计学意义。眼压均值最高出现在周期的第20至22天，第二个峰值出现在周期的第13至15天。眼压均值最低出现在周期的第16至19天。本研究得出结论，眼压随月经周期的不同天数而变化，但波动无统计学意义，不会影响青光眼的诊断。
