AbstractDO.15.04Psychological influences to the intraocular pressure – a historical review Carl Erb Under physiological conditions, intraocular pressure (IOP) is controlled by the autonomic and central nervous systems. IOP responds to physical as well as psychological stimuli in healthy individuals which was studied since 1900. In patients with dysregulated IOP, e.g. in those with primary open angle glaucoma, emotional instability without a specific personality pattern could be found. These data were confirmed in recently published papers. Therefore, it seems meaningful-in addition to standard glaucoma therapy-to try to improve the patient´s emotional condition, both for treatment of the glaucoma and for the patient´s general quality of life.
