Implementation and Clinical Application of 24-Hour Intraocular Pressure Monitoring in China: A Nationwide Survey

Although over half of the surveyed hospitals had implemented 24-hour IOP monitoring, overall clinical utilization remained suboptimal, with highly heterogeneous local protocols and considerable patient reluctance toward the current inpatient-based, nurse-dependent monitoring paradigm. Standardized implementation of national guidelines, enhanced patient education, and development of patient-centric, wearable IOP monitoring technologies are essential to optimize accessibility and support glaucoma management.
