During 3rd trimester the mean IOP in RE is 11.620 ± 0.969; in left eye it is 11.240<br />

± 0.906. In PIH the mean IOP in RE is 12.720 ± 1.095; in LE it is 12.760 ± 0.768.<br />

The estimated P value for third trimester and PIH IOP in right and left eye is<br />

0.006 and < 0.001 respectively. Here the IOP decreased In 3rd trimester when<br />

compared with PIH.<br />

During 3rd trimester the mean IOP in RE is 11.620 ± 0.969; in left eye it is 11.240<br />

± 0.906. In control the mean IOP in RE 15.893 ± 1.201; in left eye it is 16.290 ±<br />

1.006. Here the mean IOP decreased in 3rd trimester when compared with<br />

control group. The estimated P value for 3rd trimester and control group in<br />

both the eyes is < 0.001. There is significant decrease in IOP.<br />

In PIH the mean IOP in RE is 12.720 ± 1.095; in LE it is 12.760 ± 0.768. In control<br />

the mean IOP in RE 15.893 ± 1.201; in left eye it is 16.290 ± 1.006. Here the mean<br />

IOP decreased in PIH when compared with control group. The estimated P<br />

value for PIH and control group in both the eyes is < 0.001. There is significant<br />

decrease in IOP.<br />

A case of uveitis was observed during 24 weeks gestational age presented<br />

with chronic non-infectious anterior uveitis with inferiorly distributed brown<br />

coloured keratic precipitates, mild flare, and 2+ cells (i.e. 10-20 cells/cu mm).<br />

She was instructed not to use any medication. Patient was followed monthly.<br />

Uveitis activity gradually decreased during the course of pregnancy and<br />

flared up 2 months after postpartum period. This shows that pregnancy has a<br />

beneficial effect on uveitis.<br />
