Intra-ocular pressure in Fuchs's heterochromic uveitis.

Fuchs' heterochromic uveitis and sarcoidosis.

AIMS/BACKGROUND The aetiology of Fuchs' heterochromic uveitis (FHU) is unknown although it can occur in combination with a number of different ocular conditions. Five patients with FHU who show an association with sarcoidosis were studied. METHODS Four patients with clinical signs compatible with FHU who had elevated serum angiotensin converting enzyme levels (sACE), and a fifth case with a n...

Normal intra-ocular pressure.

INTRA-ocuLAR pressure varies from individual to individual, from right eye to left eye, and from time to time. Many manometric studies have been made on experimental animals but observations on human eyes have been few: Wessely (1915, 1916) found an average of 22 5 and 18X5 mm. Hg, and Seidel (1922) one of 20 and 25 5 mm. Hg. Tonometric studies of human eyes, however, have been many; the result...

Retinitis pigmentosa associated with Fuchs' heterochromic uveitis.

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether the combination of Fuchs' heterochromic uveitis (FHU) and retinitis pigmentosa (RP) in the same patient is coincidental or represents a true association. METHODS We have examined the frequency of FHU in 338 patients with RP and in 1984 patients who were seen in our primary care ophthalmic clinic because of reasons other than RP. RESULTS Of 338 patients with ...

Intra-ocular pressure in primary congestive glaucoma.

THIS investigation was undertaken at the Institute of Ophthalmology, London, the patients being drawn from a series of 100 individuals. All of them suffered from glaucoma characterized by a clinical onset consisting of periodic halos, with episodes of blurred vision and ocular pain. They formed a group of primary glaucomas in the adult, defined in this paper as congestive. Other characteristics...
