Detailed Description
Changes in intraocular pressure in glaucomatous patients with narrow angle may elicit attacks of angle closure glaucoma.
In this study we aim to assess changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) among glaucomatous patients on systemic antihypertensive and antihistaminic drugs.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) measured by applanation tonometry [Immediately after visual acuity assessment for each eye after topical anesthetic eye drops and again on one and three months visit]
Changes in IOP measured by millimeter mercury (mmHg)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Changes in pupil diameter [Immediately after slit lamp examination and again on one and three months visit]
Size of pupil measured in millimeters (mm) 7sing autorefractometer
