We express our thanks to Nouri-Mahdavi and colleagues for their interest in our article. They raise interesting questions. We have assessed the influence of long-term IOP fluctuation on visual field deterioration in patients who maintained low IOPs after surgical intervention for glaucoma.1-2 Of the 408 patients enrolled who always had IOPs below 18 mm Hg with or without topical antiglaucoma medication, only about 10% of patients showed an IOP SD greater than 2 mm Hg. Also, although most of our patients adhere to a strict time schedule for their IOP examinations, not all patients follow such a regimen. It must be kept in mind that our study goes back 15 years. This should be an understandable and probably unavoidable limitation for a large sample and long follow-up retrospective study like . . . [Full Text of this Article]
