Blow by blow: new study links breathing force to eye pressure
NCT ID NCT07274176
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at how different levels of forced breathing change pressure inside the eye. Researchers will use a special device called Airofit to measure this in 60 healthy adults. The goal is to better understand the link between breathing effort and eye pressure, which could help in future eye health research.
