Background.
To investigate the correlation between intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuation with postural change and IOP in relation to the time course after trabeculectomy.
Methods.
A total of 29 patients who had previously undergone primary trabeculectomy with mitomycin C were examined.
IOP was obtained at 1, 2, 3, 6, and 12 months and then every 6 months postoperatively.
Results.
The postural IOP difference before surgery was 3.0 ± 1.8 mmHg, which was reduced to 0.9 ± 1.1 mmHg at 1 month, 1.0 ± 1.0 mmHg at 2 months, 1.3 ± 2.0 mmHg at 3 months, 1.3 ± 1.4 mmHg at 6 months, 1.4 ± 1.5 mmHg at 12 months, and 1.1 ± 0.7 mmHg at 18 months after trabeculectomy ( P < 0.01 each visit).
The filtering surgery failed in 7 out of 29 eyes.
Postural IOP changes were less than 3 mmHg in those patients who did not require needle revision at every visit.
However, in patients who did require needle revision, the increase in the posture-induced IOP was greater than 3 mmHg prior to the increase in the sitting position IOP.
Conclusions.
Assessment of postural IOP changes after trabeculectomy might be potentially useful for predicting IOP changes after trabeculectomy.
