Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Physical Therapy - Department of Physical Therapy for Cardiopulmonary and Geriatrics Disorders Summary: Background: Elevated Intra-ocular Pressure (IOP) is one of the major risk factors for developing glaucoma or glaucomatous optic neuropathy and its progression. Glaucoma is a common ophthalmic disease worldwide and it is a significant cause of visual impairment and blindness. Blindness leads not only to a reduced economical and social status, but it may also result in premature death. Purpose: To determine the effect of acupressure versus resistive exercises on intraocular pressure in elderly. Subjects: Forty (40) elderly volunteers of both sexes participated in this study. All subjects with age range between 60-70 years old. They will be chosen from outpatient clinic, El-Demerdash hospital, Ain shams university. Methods:The subjects were assigned randomly in two equal groups in number. Group 1: Twenty subjects (men and women) participated in a supervised regular resistive exercise training program (3 sessions /week, 30 minutes/per session for 8 weeks) where intraocular pressure was measured before and after treatment protocol application. Group 2:Twenty subjects (men and women) received Acupressure therapy (3 sessions /week,20 minutes/per session for 8 weeks) where intraocular pressure was measured before and after treatment protocol application. Conclusion: Subjects received acupressure therapy have significant decrease in intraocular pressure compared to those who received resistive exercise training program
