The purpose of the study is to investigate the IOP difference between normal and glaucomatous
eyes using standard ophthalmic tonometry devices while subjects are performing different
standard yoga asanas. The IOP of participants will be measured prior, immediately at start of
the asana, 2 minutes into the asana, and immediately after assuming a sitting position. The
patient will wait 10 minutes and a final IOP will be taken. Four standard yoga asanas will be
tested.
