Data presented as IOP in mmHg. OD: Right eye; OS: Left eye; ST: Scleral depression in the superotemporal quadrant; IN: Scleral depression in the inferonasal quadrant; PreIOP: IOP recorded immediately prior to scleral depression; Depress: IOP recorded during scleral depression; Δ: Change in IOP induced by scleral depression; SE: Standard error; MIN: Minimum; MAX: Maximum.
