摘要：
Background: Glaucoma is one of the world's leading causes of acquired blindness. A Number of studies have attempted to identify the risk factors associated with development of elevated IOP. This study was conducted to find out co-relation between body mass index and intraocular pressure in adult patients. Material & Methods: It was a case series study of 300 patients examined in the out patient department of Ophthalmology, Khyber Teaching Hospital Peshawar, from April 2007 to November 2007. Results: Three hundred patients were examined, 158(52.7%) were males and 142(47.3%) were females. The mean IOP was found to be 16.29+/-4.16mmHg, with mean age of 42.23+/-15.43 years. Mean body mass index was 24.76+/- 4.74 Kg/m(2). Body mass index was significantly correlated with IOP with p<0.05. Conclusion: Increase in BMI is strongly associated with increase in IOP.
