ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This study was carried out to evaluate the postural intraocular pressure (IOP) change in Trendelenburg, reverse Trendelenburg, and supine positions in healthy young males.METHODS:
We measured the IOP values of 5 healthy young male volunteers (10 eyes) using an Icare PRO rebound tonometer in sitting, Trendelenburg, reverse Trendelenburg, and supine positions.RESULTS:
The mean IOP in the supine position (18.63 mm Hg) was significantly higher (p < 0.01) than in the sitting position (15.31 mm Hg). When maintaining the Trendelenburg position, IOP gradually increased.CONCLUSIONS:
In our study, the Trendelenburg position significantly increased the IOP compared to that in the supine position. The effects of increased IOP should be considered in situations that require Trendelenburg positioning, such as exercise or surgery.
