irritation effect on pressures?

I have found that my eyes tend to be more subject to irritation when I measure them later at night. For example, while I am performing the three per eye puff tests with the AT555, my eyes will burn a bit while trying to keep them open (but mostly later at night when they are tired). However, what I want to know is whether eyes feeling irritated/burning can momentarily raise pressures (I have noticed that they seem a bit higher just before going to bed and trying to determine a correlation with this irritation).
