Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Stress-induced activation of the sympathetic nervous system leads to a cascade of metabolic reactions. Emotional stress is a more specific form of stress in which the stressor is a psychological response to a situation subjectively perceived as traumatic. Stress hormones can have a wide range of effects on the body, however, it is still unclear if and how it can affect ophthalmic physiology. This report presents a case of severe ocular hypertension in which emotional stress was the only cause elicited, and explores potential aggravating factors. CASE PRESENTATION:A 78-year-old, personality type A, lady with a history of pseudo-exfoliative glaucoma presented with an acute asymmetrical raise in intraocular pressure (IOP) immediately following a family breakdown. Her IOP had previously remained stable following a deep sclerectomy in the right eye and an Ex-PRESS shunt in the left eye. Her examination was entirely normal otherwise, with a patent filtration and diffuse bleb as confirmed with anterior segment OCT imaging. Near-normalisation of her IOP was observed within 24 h, concomitantly with the reduction of her stress levels. No other cause for the transient acute hypertensive episode were found. CONCLUSIONS:This case report suggests that acute emotional stress could severely affect IOP in patients suffering from glaucoma. This could be important when looking after glaucoma patients. It would also suggest that the personnality types, and the emotional and social context are more factors to take into account in glaucoma studies. These observations are based on a single case report and would need to be verified on a larger scale.
