“…Moreover, these IOP changes have been associated with an increase in nocturnal IOP and could be related to the progression of glaucoma. 20 In contrast to our results, Nakakura et al 21 , conducted a recent prospective cross-sectional study They used GAT, IcarePRO, and IC200 on 145 eyes of 145 glaucoma patients in the sitting and supine positions, and found no significant variations in IOP values between the sitting (13.3 mmHg) and supine positions (14.5 mmHg) for Icare PRO rebound tonometer, with difference (1.2 mmHg). Uzlu et al 22 , conducted a study on 49 eyes of 49 healthy children.…”

Background: Glaucoma's biggest treatable risk factor is elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) . Many factors have an impact on IOP, including body posture. Due to its convenience, lack of requirement for topical anaesthetic, and repeatable results, rebound tonometry has been claimed to be equivalent to the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT). Aim of The Work:To study the effect of body posture (supine position versus sitting position) on the intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements in normal healthy children and glaucomatous children by using a Rebound tonometry. Patients and Methods:The study was carried out on 80 children, divided into 20 cases of children with glaucoma, and 60 children with normal healthy eyes as control, all children attending the outpatient pediatric ophthalmology clinics, of
