Fujiwara K, Yasuda M, Hata J, et al. - In a general Japanese population, researchers undertook this population-based, cohort analysis in 2007, to determine the link between long-term regular exercise (exercise frequency and exercise time) and 5-year alterations in intraocular pressure. This study included 1,871 Japanese community dwellers aged ≥ 40 years who underwent eye checkups including intraocular pressure measurement with a noncontact tonometer as well as intraocular pressure measurement in 2012. The mean 5-year intraocular pressure change ± standard deviation was estimated to be − 0.84 ± 1.9 mmHg. Findings revealed independent association of increased exercise frequency levels and of increased exercise time, with decreased intraocular pressure levels following adjustment for confounding factors.
