Abstract

Objectives: To examine the acute effects of caffeine on the intraocular pressure among healthy young individuals.

Methods: The quasi-experimental study was conducted from January to May 2023 at the Superior University, Lahore, Pakistan, while data was collected from Al-Khair Trust Eye Hospital, Lahore. The sample comprised subjects aged 18- 27 years who had healthy eyes and were non-habitual consumers of coffee. Blood pressure and intraocular pressure were measured at baseline and then again at 30, 60 and 90 minutes after coffee ingestion. Individuals were given freshly produced instant coffee with caffeine. After an interval of two days, the same group was given instant decaffeinated coffee. Data was analysed using SPSS 25.

Results: Of the 73 subjects, 46(63%) were males and 27(37%) were females. The overall mean age was 22.52±2.08 years (range: 19-27 years). Caffeine consumption raised intraocular pressure (p<0.001) and blood pressure (p=0.007) significantly compared to the baseline. Group B show no significant change (p>0.05).

Conclusions: There was a significant increase in intraocular pressure and blood pressure after coffee ingestion in the caffeinated group, while there was no significant change in the decaffeinated group.

咖啡因对眼压的急性影响。

目的：探讨咖啡因对健康青年眼压的急性影响。方法：准实验研究于2023年1 - 5月在巴基斯坦拉合尔苏必瑞大学进行，数据来自拉合尔Al-Khair信托眼科医院。研究对象年龄在18- 27岁之间，眼睛健康，不经常喝咖啡。在基线时测量血压和眼压，然后在饮用咖啡后30,60和90分钟再次测量血压和眼压。研究人员给这些人提供了新鲜制作的含有咖啡因的速溶咖啡。间隔两天之后，同一组人喝速溶脱咖啡因咖啡。数据采用SPSS 25进行分析。结果：73例患者中，男性46例（63%），女性27例（37%）。总平均年龄22.52±2.08岁（范围：19 ~ 27岁）。咖啡因摄入使眼压升高（p0.05）。结论：含咖啡因组饮用咖啡后眼压和血压明显升高，而不含咖啡因组无明显变化。

期刊介绍： Primarily being a medical journal, JPMA publishes scholarly research focusing on the various fields in the areas of health and medical education. It publishes original research describing recent advances in health particularly clinical studies, clinical trials, assessments of pathogens of diagnostic importance, medical genetics and epidemiological studies. Review articles highlighting importance of various issues in the domain of public health, drug research and medical education are also accepted. As a leading journal of South Asia, JPMA remains cognizant of the recent advances in the rapidly growing fields of biomedical sciences, it invites and encourages scholars to write short reviews and invited editorials on the emerging issues. We particularly aim to promote health standards of developing countries by encouraging manuscript submissions on issues affecting the public health and health delivery services.
