End stage glaucoma patients are being neglected while using new technologies and technique in Ophthalmology. In this
presentation the importance of issues are highlighted while using new methods and technologies. In Phacoemulsification
and Vitrectomy new machines are working on high vacuum and high flow rate where bottle height is raised. In expendable
gases IOP is raised unpredictably. Silicon oil can cause damage while doing surgery or post-operatively. It is known that after
YAG laser IOP is raised, but proper protocol is not followed in many centers. During flap formation in Lasik IOP is raised up
to 80 mm or more. Now new technologies are being explored to avoid flap formation. Certain Yoga positions are not advised
since those positions increase IOP. Intra ocular pressure is doubled during robotic prostatectomy surgery which may take more
than two hours. Retained viscoelastics after cataract surgery is known cause of raised IOP. Tight collar or wearing constrictive
clothing around the neck can trigger raised IOP intermittently. Poor perfusion for any reason has serious effects. Pressure
variations are discussed with recommendations.
