| Popis: | To measure changes in choroidal thickness (CT), retinal thickness (RT), and axial length (AL) accompanying intraocular pressure (IOP) increase and to investigate the changes in axial eye dimensions induced by IOP increase. Thirty-four eyes of 34 patients undergoing a diagnostic provocative test for primary angle closure (PAC). Patients with other macular diseases were excluded. Patients underwent the darkroom prone provocative test (DR-PPT) for 1 h. We measured CT and RT at the fovea by optical coherence tomography with the enhanced depth imaging method and AL with noncontact, partial coherence laser interferometry before and after the DR-PPT. There was a statistically significant increase in the mean (SD) IOP of 7.3 (9.2) mmHg and the mean (SD) AL of 0.06 (0.12) mm after the DR-PPT (P |
