Results: Subjects with combination of three metabolic syndrome components of triglycerides, abdominal
obesity, and fasting glucose had the highest intraocular pressure. And subjects with the combination of four
components of blood pressure, high-density lipoproteins, triglycerides, fasting glucose had a significantly
higher intraocular pressure than ones with the combination of all five metabolic syndrome components.
Conclusions: The difference in the risk of high intraocular pressure according to the different combination of
the metabolic syndrome components could be confirmed. If additional follow-up studies are conducted, the
findings can be used as an indicator for predicting intraocular pressure increases in patients with metabolic
syndrome.
