Our results show that obesity caused an increase in intraocular pressure and a decrease in ocular pulse amplitude independently of insulin resistance in children and adolescents. Prospective studies involving long-term follow-up of cases are now needed to assess the probable adverse effects of these ocular findings in obese children.
