“…In our study, we found no significant difference between case and control groups as regard age and gender. In accordance to our findings, Mostafa et al 13 conducted a prospective study on 90 subjects with 180 eyes. The subjects were separated into three groups (normal, glaucoma suspicion, and primary open angle glaucoma), and it was discovered that there were no statistically significant variations between the groups when age and gender were compared.…”

“…As regard non-pediatric studies, the study conducted by Mostafa et al 13 they reported that, there was a statistically significant increase of IOP in supine positions compared to sitting positions in all study groups. Also, Hirooka et al 18 They reported that the averaged IOP difference between the sitting and supine positions was 4.11.6mm Hg in a prospective, nonrandomized investigation on 10 eyes of 10 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma and 3 eyes of 3 patients with normal-tension glaucoma.…”

“…The difference between sitting and supine position has been studied before but mainly in adult. 13,14,15,16 So, this analysis aimed to study the effect of body posture (supine position versus sitting position) on IOP measurements in normal healthy children and glaucomatous children by using a Rebound tonometry.…”

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

“…Selain itu posisi kepala matras dengan sudut yang lebih tinggi mampu mengurangi peningkatan TIO pada pasien glaucoma. 11 Pada penelitian oleh Mostafa dkk 15 yang melihat efek sudut posisi tubuh saat berbaring pada kelompok normal, curiga (suspicious) glaucoma dan penderita glaucoma sudut terbuka. Pada semua kelompok terdapat penurunan signifikan TIO sejalan dengan peningkatan sudut bed.…”

Glaucoma still be the second most common cause of blindness in the world. Glaucoma is a group of neuropathic diseases of the optic nerve which is characterized by the extraction of the optic disc (cupping) may causes visual disturbances. Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the most influential factor of glaucoma and affected by various factors, especially body position during sleep. Sleep composed of REM sleep and NREM sleep is related to muscle tone and psychological activity that has impact for sleep posture. The increase of intraocular pressure is directly proportional to the increase of episcleral venous pressure. The increase of IOP in prone position is probably due to an increase in choroidal vascular volume and increase of episcleral venous pressure, whereas in the lateral decubitus position the increase in IOP is caused by compression of the jugular veins when using a pillow. IOP rises when move to the lateral decubitus position in the dependent eye was 1 mmHg and in the non-dependent eye was 2 mmHg. The angle of the head to the bed has an effect on increasing IOP, in the vertical head-down position there can be an increase of 70% due to the force of gravity, whereas in patients who sleep with their head at a higher angle to the mattress, the IOP will decrease compared to the horizontal sleeping position.
