Abstract: 【Abstract】The fluctuation of intraocular pressure(IOP) is an important factor causing glaucomatous optic nerve injury, and posture is one of the most important factors affecting IOP. The effects of body posision on IOP is receiving more and more attention. This article reviews the research progress about the  posture impacts on IOP. The objective is to explain the relationship between position change and IOP by presenting the effects of postural changing time, continuous postural change, different supine position, handstand and weightlifting, and summarize how the postural change affect the IOP from five aspects: episcleral venous pressure, blood pressure, intraocular contents and anterior chamber depth, ocular perfusion pressure, and the change of adrenalin.   (Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2013, 37: 87-91)
