Episcleral venous pressure remains relatively constant throughout the day. It increases in the supine position with a corresponding increase in IOP. Lid closure does not influence EVP or IOP.
Intraocular pressure and episcleral venous pressure were not different in the younger and older group in the sitting position. They were higher in the supine position for older subjects. There was no gender difference.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
