Effects of laughter exercise on intraocular pressure, Schlemm’s canal and chorioretinal parameters in healthy adults
The anterior and posterior segment demonstrated distinct responses to a standardized laughter exercise. The IOP changes are associated with the expansion of Schlemm's canal. Further research is warranted to determine the efficacy of laughter exercise as a non-pharmacological adjunct for IOP control.
