Table 3. Association of Wearing Swimming Goggles With IOP and Estimated TLPG During Different Postural Allocations and/or Exercise.
| Variable | Mean (SD) | |
|---|---|---|
| No Goggles (n = 10) | Goggles (n = 10) | |
| IOP, mm Hg | ||
| Supine | 18.0 (2.7) | 20.8 (4.2)a |
| −15° HDT | 20.3 (2.2) | 23.2 (5.2)a |
| −15° HDT with exercise | 19.1 (3.1) | 21.0 (4.4) |
| Estimated TLPG, mm Hg | ||
| Supine | −5.5 (6.6) | 1.7 (5.5)b |
| −15° HDT | −12.7 (6.7) | −7.6 (9.3)a |
| −15° HDT with exercise | −14.1 (8.7) | −14.2 (13.9) |
Abbreviations: HDT, head-down tilt; IOP, intraocular pressure; TLPG, translaminar pressure gradient.
a
P < .05 for goggles vs no goggles.
b
P < .001 for goggles vs no goggles.
