Notes: All pressures are in mmHg. Each individual surgeon had a range and time-weighted mean IOP for their pre- and postcoaching compressions. The absolute value of the difference between the 90 mmHg target pressure and the pressure actually produced during postcoaching massage is shown in the last column, and shows how close the surgeon came to reproducing the target pressure. Statistics on the entire group of surgeons are shown at the bottom of the table.

Abbreviations: IOP, intraocular pressure; DOM, digital ocular massage; SEM, standard error of mean.
