Background/aims Glaucoma is a chronic disease that requires lifelong monitoring and treatment. However, its control is limited due to discontinuous intraocular pressure (IOP) monitoring related to the practitioners’ office hours. Implantable telemetric IOP sensors have made self-measurements possible and provide important information regarding the IOP profiles of patients. However, limited long-term monitoring data are currently available.

Background The choroid is densely innervated by all parts of the autonomic nervous system and further harbours a network of local nerve cells, the intrinsic choroidal neurons (ICN). Their function in ocular control is currently unknown. While morphological data assume a role in intraocular pressure regulation, we here test if increased pressure on isolated choroids may activate ICN.
