The Effect of Head Rotation on Intraocular Pressure in Prone Position: a Randomized Trial

The Effect of Head Rotation on Intraocular Pressure in Prone Position: a Randomized Trial

Background and objectives: The increased intraocular pressure (IOP) - which decreases perfusion pressure on the optic nerve - increases by prone positioning (1). The aim of our study was to compare the effect of head rotation 45° laterally in prone position on the increase in IOP of upper placed and...
