The purpose of this study was to evaluate intraocular pressure (IOP) levels in patients suffering from Wilsons disease.
Methods
In observational, cross-sectional, non-interventional study, IOP was measured by applanation tonometry in 52 patients with Wilson's disease (WD), and compared to 52 healthy controls (HC).
Results
Patients with Wilsons disease had significantly lower IOPs, compared to control group (CG) (13.20 ± 2.5 versus 14.98 ± 2.0, p < .000, t test).
Conclusions
We found that IOP is significantly lower in patients with WD.
