| Abstract |
|
This paper describes the results of the investigation of the intraocular pressure response upon postural change in 56 healthy adults and in 20 hypertensive patients, with a short study of 9 diabetic patients. Both hypertensive and diabetic groups showed abnormal response. In the hypertensive and diabetic groups the mean rise at immediately after lying was significantly higher than that occuring during 15 min in lying, that is, 1.9 mmHg compared to 0.8 mmHg in hypertensive group and 2.4 mmHg compared to 0.5 mmHg in diabetic group(p<0.05). |
