The effect of exposure to heat on intraocular pressure

The effect of exposure to heat on intraocular pressure

A Shapiro et al. Albrecht Von Graefes Arch Klin Exp Ophthalmol. .

Abstract

During exposure to heat there is an increase of the intraocular pressure in nonacclimatized persons. This increase is not found after heat acclimatization has been carried out. The increase of the intraocular pressure in the nonacclimatized persons can be attributed to the increase of the body temperature due to insufficient sweating.
