摘　　要：The importance of 24-hour intraocular pressure(IOP)assessment has increasingly being recognized in recent years(1-4).In cardiology,24-hour blood pressure monitoring is widely employed to accurately characterize a patient’s blood pressure profile and to guide management.Similarly,in glaucoma care 24-hour IOP assessment can delineate a patient’s true pressure characteristics and guide stepwise decision-making(1,5).Nevertheless,the precise predictive value of a short-term 24-hour untreated,or treated curve upon the long-term prognosis of glaucoma remains to be elucidated.There is some evidence suggesting that those patients with fluctuating 24-hour IOP characteristics manifest greater degrees of ocular damage and functional deterioration than those with stable pressures(1,6-8).
