Does extended wear of a tight necktie cause raised intraocular pressure?

[...]after loosening the necktie for 3 minutes (immediately after 15 minutes of continuous necktie wear), the mean IOP decreased in the normal group by 0.89 mm Hg (P = .02*) but only minimally in the glaucoma group by 0.16 mm Hg (P = .72).
