What this trial studies
This study investigates how labor affects intraocular pressure fluctuations in women with healthy eyes during vaginal delivery. It involves monitoring intraocular pressure using SENSIMED Triggerfish contact lenses, which provide continuous measurements during contractions. Participants will be primiparous women in their 35th to 37th week of pregnancy, who will undergo a detailed eye examination before labor. The study aims to gather data on intraocular pressure changes during the second stage of labor, providing insights into the relationship between childbirth and eye health.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are primiparous women with physiological pregnancies in their 35th to 37th week.
Not a fit: Patients who are multiparous or have pathological pregnancies may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of intraocular pressure dynamics during labor, potentially informing better management strategies for women at risk of glaucoma.
How similar studies have performed: While there is limited research specifically measuring intraocular pressure during labor, studies on intraocular pressure fluctuations in other contexts have shown promising results, suggesting this approach may yield valuable insights.
