Abstract:Background: Comparing intraocular pressure (IOP) changes (ΔIOP) between obese subjects and non-obese controls in relation to different positions: standing, sitting, supine. Methods: the IOP was measured in both obese patients and non-obese controls groups with Tono-Pen AVIA in different positions following this sequence: after 5 min (5′) in the standing position, sitting, supine, supine after 5 min (supine 5′) and immediately after standing. ΔIOP values obtained comparing all positions were, therefore, evaluat… Show more
