Objective: The aim of this study was to synthesize the available evidence on clinical efficacy different relaxation exercises intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction. Methods: A systemic search PubMed, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Web Science undertaken from earliest record 10 April 2024. Peer-reviewed studies that reported healthy individuals glaucoma patients engaging in for at least three weeks were included. primary outcome changes IOP levels baseline, before commencement exercises, post-exercise. Our statistical analysis employed a random-effects model, with effect sizes using Hedges’ g. Results: Twelve included, totaling 764 eyes (mean participant age ranging 21.07 69.50 years). Relaxation significantly reduced IOP, g being −1.276 (95% CI: −1.674 −0.879) I2 = 84.4%. Separate subgroup analyses showed breathing (Hedges’ −0.860, p < 0.0001), mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) −1.79, ocular −0.974, 0.0001) associated levels. following found be baseline either greater than −1.473, or less 21 mmHg −1.22, 0.0001). Furthermore, persisted follow-up durations −1.161, more one month −1.324, Conclusions: current meta-analysis indicates can reduce are potential class novel treatments deserve further evaluation.
