1. Association of BMI with intraocular pressure Presented by : Iraj A imen Supervised by : DR. Imran B asit

2. INTRODUCTION Intaocular pressure: Normal : 10-22mmHg High: > 22-27 mmHg (suspect)

3. BODY MASS INDEX

4. OBESITY Obesity has become the most prevalent and serious problem in the world. Obesity is not only the major risk factor for many systemic diseases but has also been implicated in various ocular pathologies.

5. Obesity also increases the blood viscosity by increasing the red cell count, hematocrit and haemoglobin and this causes resistance to aqueous outflow through episcleral vein . So , obesity role in the has a important progression and development of glaucoma through elevated IOP and vascular dysregulation .

6. Method This is a cross sectional observational study of 70 patients, visited EYE OPD of Shalamar Hospital. Patients weight and height were measured by weight machine and height scale. Non contact tonometer. Sphygmomanometer.

7. results A total of 51 patients (19 males and 32 females) were recruited for this study from ages 30 to 80 years, with an average mean age standard deviation of 9.78574 years. A positive linear correlation was found between body mass index (BMI) and intraocular pressure (IOP) as pvalue <0.05. Out of total 51 participants 3 participants showed normal IOP with 5.9% BMI. 15 participants showed slightly high IOP with 29.4% BMI, 33 participants showed high IOP with 64.7% BMI.

9. CONCLUSION This study showed that there is a significant association between body mass index (BMI) and intraocular pressure (IOP) because p- value is greater than 0.05 and obesity is an independent risk factor for increasing IOP.
