PURPOSE: To investigate the trend of seasonal variation of intraocular pressure (TOP) in patients with normal-tension glaucoma over a 20-year period by retrospectively analyzing the Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine Glaucoma Registry database as real-world data.DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study.METHODS: Data points (n = 49,007) were extracted retrospectively from the medical records of 1774 patients with normal-tension glaucoma (665 male patients and 1109 female patients; mean +/- SD age was 59.8 +/- 14.4 years; and mean +/- SD observation period was 5.6 +/- 4.4 years) seen over the 20-year period. We first calculated the mean TOP from all available data of each month from January 1997 through December 2016. The data were then categorized into 5 groups of 4 consecutive years each (1997-2000, 2001-2004, 2005-2008, 2009-2012, and 2013-2016) and the mean TOP of each month within the group was calculated. Seasonal variations of TOP over the 20-year study period and in the 5 consecutive groups were then investigated via nonlinear multiple regression analysis.RESULTS: A continuous decrease of TOP was detected throughout the 20-year period (P < .001), with distinct seasonal variation. The annual mean +/- SD TOP was highest (13.9 +/- 2.7 mm Hg) in the oldest group (1997-2000), with a gradual decrease in each subsequent group, finally becoming lowest (12.3 +/- 2.7 mm Hg) in the most recent group (2013-2016) (P < .001), and all of them were accompanied by distinct seasonal variation (P < .001).CONCLUSIONS: Based on the Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine Glaucoma Registry real-world longitudinal data, our findings revealed a continuous decrease and distinct seasonal variation of TOP in patients with normal-tension glaucoma throughout the 20-year study period.
