Objective: ToStudy the effect of isometric handgrip exercise test on Intra ocular pressure in young adultsMethod: Healthy young male adults in the age group of 18-22 years were selected among MBBS phaseI students of a Medical college .Sample size was 40. Heart rate and IOP were recorded at rest and afterisometric handgriptestResults: Right eye IOP has decreased significantly from resting 16.28±1.55 to 9.30±1.79( p<0.001)immediately after handgripexercise IOP Left eye IOP has decreased significantly from resting 16.15±1.69 to13.04±1.19 (p<0.001)immediately after handgrip exercise IOPConclusion: Isometric handgripexercise lowers IOP which were significant. Hence may prove useful innormotensive glaucomatous patients
