Reduction of intraocular pressure after bariatric surgery.

In a cohort of obese individuals undergoing sleeve gastrectomy, there was a significant decrease in IOP measured 3-6 months after the procedure. Our results suggest that significant weight loss could have beneficial effects on IOP in obese individuals with ocular hypertension which might enable avoidance of antiglaucoma medications. The high likelihood of a reduction in IOP should be taken into account when considering bariatric surgery in such patients.
