To evaluate the short-term effect of acupuncture on the intraocular pressure (IOP).
Methods: A randomized controlled trial. Healthy volunteers will be randomly allocated to three groups: Acupuncture group - will be submitted to a 20-minute session of acupuncture with needles inserted in specific points (Tong Zi Liao, Yang Bai and Jing Ming); Sham group - will be submitted to a 20- minute session of acupuncture with needles inserted in false points located 1 cm from true points in areas without acupuncture's meridians; and Control group - no intervention.
