The Effect of Postural Changes on Intraocular Pressure in Silicone Oil-filled Eyes

Completed

• Conditions: Silicone Tamponade

• Registration Number: NCT01992510
• Lead Sponsor: Kyungpook National University Hospital

Brief Summary

The study was conducted to investigate how postural changes including sitting, supine, and LDP(lateral decubitus position) affect the IOP(intraocular pressure) of SO(silicone oil-filled eyes. In addition, this study compared the IOP changes between the SO-filled eyes and the fellow eyes in each body position.
