The Effect of Labor on Intraocular Pressure Fluctuation in Healthy Eyes

Glaucoma is a multifactorial disease, an important risk factor of which is increased intraocular pressure. Fluctuations in intraocular pressure are often associated with vaginal birth, although intraocular pressure during active pushing during stage II has never been measured.. The study will be conducted on a group of patients with healthy eyes on patients who have completely fine vision or have a small refractive error and are accustomed to wearing contact lenses. The measurement of intraocular pressure itself will be carried out using SENSIMED Triggerfish contact lenses, which measure pressure every 5 minutes for 30s. This period roughly corresponds to the duration of 1-2 contractions. Inclusion in the study will be offered to patients in the 35th to 37th week of pregnancy. Prior to measurement patients will be sent to an eye clinic for a detailed examination of both eyes, which inclu
