Aim: To investigate the changes in the Intraocular pressure (IOP) in adults on prolonged computer usage. Methods:31 adult subjects working with computers for prolonged hours had their Intraocular pressure checked with Schiotz tonometer. Measurements were taken initially on every individual before computer usage and then following 3 hours of computer usage. Results: There was significant rise in the Intraocular pressure (Mean Increase of Intraocular pressure is 1.23mm of Hg) in most of the myopic subjects after 3 hours of continuous usage of computer. Conclusions: Prolonged computer usage could induce transient Intraocular pressure elevation. Mostly Intraocular pressure elevation is seen in myopic subjects whereas emmetropic subjects showed little or no elevation.
