Intraocular Pressure In Man Research Articles

Effect of demecarium bromide (BC 48) on intraocular pressure in man.

It is now widely held that the treatment of chronic simple glaucoma should be conservative, because it is realized that the surgical results are very indifferent in this form of glaucoma as opposed to the angleclosure variety. Present-day research is directed toward finding the etiology of this condition and into the evolution of new remedies which may help the conservative control of glaucoma once it is established. While there is no universal agreement that the changes at the optic nerve head and the changes in intraocular pressure run in parallel, it is nevertheless agreed that a rise in the intraocular pressure is to be avoided, and, even though this does not always completely arrest the glaucomatous process, there is evidence to support the notion that control of the intraocular pressure constitutes the only known means by which the pathological process can be influenced. A number of new powerful cholinesterase inhibitors

Influence of general anesthesia on intraocular pressure in man; the effect of diethyl ether, cyclopropane, vinyl ether, and thiopental sodium.

Most studies of the effect of general anesthesia on intraocular pressure have been carried out in animals. 1,2 A decrease in intraocular pressure as a result of anesthesia has usually been found. However, there has been no systematic study of the effect of general anesthesia on intraocular pressure in a large series of normal human eyes. This problem is of particular importance in the case of small children in whom intraocular pressure can only be measured under general anesthesia. This paper deals with the effect of diethyl ether, cyclopropane, vinyl ether, and thiopental sodium on intraocular pressure in a large series of patients. Material and Methods Both eyes of 70 patients undergoing short operative procedures were examined. The eyes in all cases were normal. The intraocular pressure was repeatedly measured immediately preceding the induction of anesthesia following premedication with morphine and atropine, at intervals during the course of anesthesia, and
