To determine the influence of time of day and body position on axial length, microvasculature, and intraocular pressure (IOP), participants (N = 23, ages 22-46 years) were enrolled in four 4-hour experimental sessions, which varied by time of day (morning or night) and body position (upright or supine). Blood pressure, heart rate, IOP, biometry, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) imaging were performed every 2 h. For supine sessions, IOP was also measured 10 min after position changed to upright. When upright for 4 h in the morning, axial length increased 10.0 ± 2.8 μm (P = 0.005). When supine in the morning, axial length decreased 8.7 ± 2.2 μm (P < 0.001). When upright at night, axial length decreased 18.3 ± 2.3 μm (P < 0.001), and choroidal thickness increased 7.7 ± 1.4 μm (P < 0.001). When supine at night, axial length decreased 37.0 ± 3.4 μm (P < 0.001) and choroidal thickness increased 14.1 ± 1.7 μm (P < 0.001). IOP measured 10 min after transitioning to an upright position showed an acute decrease (P < 0.05). No significant changes in retinal microvasculature were observed with body position or time (P > 0.05 for all). In conclusion, body position and time of day influence axial length, choroidal thickness, and IOP, indicating that extrinsic factors work in conjunction with diurnal factors to mediate ocular rhythms.
为确定一天中的时间和体位对眼轴长度、微血管系统及眼压(IOP)的影响,研究招募了参与者(N = 23,年龄22 - 46岁),进行4次时长4小时的实验,实验在一天中的不同时间(早晨或晚上)及不同体位(直立或仰卧)下进行。每2小时测量一次血压、心率、眼压、生物测量、光学相干断层扫描(OCT)及OCT血管造影(OCTA)成像。对于仰卧位实验,体位变为直立位10分钟后也测量眼压。早晨直立4小时后,眼轴长度增加10.0±2.8μm(P = 0.005)。早晨仰卧时,眼轴长度减少8.7±2.2μm(P < 0.001)。晚上直立时,眼轴长度减少18.3±2.3μm(P < 0.001),脉络膜厚度增加7.7±1.4μm(P < 0.001)。晚上仰卧时,眼轴长度减少37.0±3.4μm(P < 0.001),脉络膜厚度增加14.1±1.7μm(P < 0.001)。体位变为直立位10分钟后测量的眼压显示出急性下降(P < 0.05)。未观察到视网膜微血管系统随体位或时间有显著变化(所有P>0.05)。总之,体位和一天中的时间会影响眼轴长度、脉络膜厚度和眼压,表明外在因素与昼夜因素共同作用来调节眼部节律。
