Effect of mindfulness meditation on intraocular pressure and trabecular meshwork gene expression: A randomised controlled trial
American Journal of Ophthalmology Oct 28, 2020
Dada T, Bhai N, Midha N, et al. - Researchers conducted this parallel arm, single masked, randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of mindfulness meditation (MM) on intraocular pressure (IOP) and trabecular meshwork (TM) gene expression in patients with medically uncontrolled primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). Sixty patients of POAG with IOP ≥ 21 mmHg on maximal topical medication and scheduled for trabeculectomy were involved in the study at a tertiary eye care centre in India. MM was related to a significant reduction in IOP and changes in TM gene expression, suggesting its direct effect on ocular tissues.
