Abstract

This study confirms previous reports of decrease in intraocular pressure following exercise (23.8% ± 13.7 (σ)). The observed increase in serum osmolarity after exercise might play an important role in this change in intraocular pressure, but did not account for the entire decrease. No significant alterations were observed after exercise in facility of outflow or in episcleral venous pressure.
