Figure 1 Experiment summary: Intraocular pressure (IOP) and blood pressure (BP) elevation due to acute stress. Top: Experimental time course. Middle: Representative raw IOP and BP data before, during, and after anesthetic procedure in one session. Bottom: Relative change from baseline in mean IOP, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and heart rate (HR) before and during anesthetic induction (*P < 0.05).

Figure 2 Continuous intraocular pressure (IOP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and heart rate (HR) in 1 nonhuman primate (NHP) during a representative NHP housing room cleaning session. Top left: Table showing differences from baseline presented as percent difference from baseline measurements. Top middle: Mean IOP values during cleaning procedure. Top right: MAP and HR values during cleaning procedure. Bottom: Screenshot of raw telemetry data with each measurement period highlighted and labeled according to the table and charts (top). Baseline values were recorded before the animals had any contact with humans.
