14421 Effect of head position on intraocular pressure in horses, Komaromy AM; Garg CD; Ying G-S et al., American Journal of Veterinary Research, 2006; 67: 1232-1235
IOP measurement may also vary with headposition - at least in horses. Thirty horses had their IOP measured in different head positions (1048). The position of the eye, above or below heart level, made a significant difference for IOP (8 mmHg). So it is the relative position of the eye to the heart that counts - in horses.
