Abstract: Objective? To explore the effects of different postures on intraocular pressure (IOP) in patiernts with glaucoma. Methods? Totally 100 patients admitted in the Department of Ophthalmology, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University between April and July 2018 were selected by convenient sampling. Icare rebound tonometry was ued to measure the patients＇ IOP when they lay on the back (0°, 10°, 20°, 30°) from 19:00 to 21:00. Results? There was statistically significant difference in the IOP of patients with different postures (P＜0.05). There was statistically significant difference in the IOP of patients laying on the bak at different angles (P＜0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the IOP laying on the bak at 10°,20° and 30° (P＞0.05). Conclusions? The moderately elevated the head of the bed during the sleep of patients helps to improve and control the IOP at night.
