How is glaucoma related to my blood pressure?

Doctor's Answer

Intraocular pressure fluctuates with your diurnal rhythm (as does blood pressure), and with certain factors including exercise (just like blood pressure).

Hence for example just like there is a blood pressure spike in the morning with a cortisol-surge, there is also a corresponding IOP-spike in the mornings that coincides with this.
