Background:
The study aimed to investigate alterations in intraocular pressure (IOP) resulting from blood donation, considering factors such as reduced blood volume and changes in fluid dynamics. A comparative study was conducted on 70 individuals meeting specific criteria, involving comprehensive eye assessments and IOP measurements using a Schiotz tonometer before and after blood donation. Intraocular pressure (IOP) is a critical parameter in ocular health, reflecting the fluid pressure within the eye. This study explores potential changes in IOP associated with blood donation, considering physiological factors such as alterations in blood volume and fluid dynamics.
Purpose :
While the impact of blood donation on systemic factors is well-documented, its specific effects on intraocular pressure remain underexplored. Existing literature emphasizes the importance of understanding ocular changes in response to alterations in systemic parameters.
Methods:
A comparative study was conducted on 70 eligible participants. Informed consent was obtained, and participants underwent a comprehensive eye examination, including visual assessment, retinoscopy, slit lamp biomicroscopic examination, and fundus examination. Intraocular pressure was measured using a Schiotz tonometer before and after blood donation.
Results:
Data analysis utilizing paired sample T-Tests indicated only subtle changes in intraocular pressure following blood donation. The mean IOP before blood donation is 17.0±0.910 and after blood donation is 16.5±1.262.
Discussion:
The observed slight changes in IOP may be attributed to factors such as a reduction in blood volume and alterations in fluid dynamics. Despite the overall subtle alterations, the statistically significant difference in IOP suggests a noteworthy association between blood donation and ocular pressure.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, this study demonstrates a significant difference in intraocular pressure before and after blood donation, shedding light on the intricate relationship between systemic physiological changes and ocular dynamics.
