BP = blood pressure and IOP = intraocular pressure. Adapted from Liu et al., 2003 J. Ocu. Pharm. Ther72 and Zhang and Hargens, 2017 Physiol Rev71.

Parameter and Body Position Equation
Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) Diastolic BP + (Systolic BP – Diastolic BP)/3
Adjusted MAP for Arterial Pressure at Eye (Seated) (0.66 X MAP)
Adjusted MAP for Arterial Pressure at Eye (Supine) (0.88 X MAP)
Adjusted MAP for Arterial Pressure at Eye (Head-Down Tilt) MAP + 7
