About
To present the clinical outcomes of diurnal IOP monitoring and determine its value in our clinical practice.We reviewed the records of 1500 patients (glaucoma suspects or glaucoma patients), who were admitted for diurnal curve during almost 12 years.
Full description
We reviewed the records of 1500 patients, who were admitted for diurnal curve during almost 12 years. All patients were hospitalized because their within office-hours exams were considered inadequate and inconclusive for decision-making
744 patients needed change of treatment. 121 patients were programmed for interventional therapy (laser or surgery). 68 patients were declassified, as overdiagnosed and overtreated. In 250 patients hidden adherence problem revealed. In 720 patients peak IOP occurred out of office hours.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: IOP diurnal curve consisted of glaucoma patients with intraocular pressure higher than target pressure despite referred previously sufficient therapy and also patients with equal or lower than target pressure, but with disease progression. There were also included patients with advanced glaucoma with visual field defects on the visual field testing, as well as patients with normal tension glaucoma and labile secondary glaucomas (exfoliative, pigmentary and chronic angle closure glaucoma), for whom close monitoring and therapy reconsidering was judged appropriate.Glaucoma suspects, demonstrating findings consistent with increased risk for glaucoma development, were included.
Exclusion Criteria: Patients with missing data values for IOP
