Results of the estimates of IOP in normal human volunteers while erect, just after assuming a reclining posture on the right side, and after 5 minutes in this reclining posture

Patient	Erect	On side	On side, after 5 minutes
1) 25, F	16/15	16/16	16/16
2) 32, F	10/11	9/11	10/11
3) 29, M	13/14	14/14	14/13
4) 25, M	11/11	12/12	12/12
5) 27, F	15/15	16/16	16/16

Notes: No contact was made with the dependent right eye except for during the IOP measurements that were all made with the same Perkins tonometer. IOP measurement is in mmHg. Patient age in years and sex are noted, n=5.

Abbreviations: IOP, intraocular pressure; F, female; M, male.
