Influência da postura na pressão intra-ocular e nos defeitos de campo visual no glaucoma primário de ângulo aberto e glaucoma de pressão normal

Abstract: RESUMOObjetivo:Avaliar a variação da pressão intra-ocular (PIO) na mudança de posição em pacientes com glaucoma primário de ângulo aberto (GPAA), glaucoma de pressão normal (GPN) e olhos normais (ON), e correlacionar esta variação à gravidade do defeito de campo visual. Métodos: Foram avaliados 32 olhos de 32 pacientes com GPAA, 30 olhos de 30 pacientes com GPN e 20 olhos de 20 ON. A PIO foi aferida às 6h da manhã na posição supina e 5min após com o paciente sentado. Foi avaliada a correlação entre variação da… Show more

“…The change of patient's position from supine to sitting alters the behavior of the IOP in POAG and normal tension glaucoma patients, as well as in normal eyes. However, the raise in IOP neither is significant when compared among the 3 groups nor is consistent with visual field defects (23) . Unfortunately, most ophthalmologists manage their glaucomatous patients on the basis of sporadic IOP measurements that are taken during regular office hours, generally in the afternoon.…”
