| Core Tip |
Intraocular pressure (IOP) in the lowlanders gradually reduced as altitude elevated in stages. Higher baseline IOP correlated with greater IOP changes in the lowlanders. Lower systemic oxygen saturation and higher pulse rate were associated with lower IOP as altitude increases. IOP may be not a useful screening method for incipient and potentially harmful altitude-dependent diseases. The findings may provide a potential environmental factor that can lower IOP and deserves further study. |
