First, the factors of posture and food. When a normal person changes from sitting position to lying position, the intraocular pressure may rise by 6 mmHg. If you take the handstand posture, the intraocular pressure may rise more than 10 mm Hg. Therefore, if glaucoma patients do yoga exercise, we will advise them to avoid handstand as much as possible. In addition, drinking a large amount of liquid (such as 500cc) in a short period of time will increase the intraocular pressure.

matters needing attention

The main methods of measuring intraocular pressure are tonometry and tonometer. Fingering method is to make the patient's eyes look down naturally. The examiner gently touches the eyeball with the tips of the two index fingers from above the upper edge of the tarsal plate, and the other fingers are placed on the patient's forehead for support. The two index fingertips are pressed alternately. According to the wave motion transmitted to the fingertips, the eyeball pressure is estimated. The normal intraocular pressure was TN, the high intraocular pressure was t + 1,2,3, and the low intraocular pressure was t-1,2,3.
