Potential Savings from Visit Reduction of Continuous Intraocular Pressure Monitoring

Determination of Central Venous Pressure from Intraocular Pressure

Background: In many clinical situations, knowledge of central venous pressure (CVP) is important.  Measurement of CVP is not always possible. Objective: To determine if intraocular pressure (IOP) can be used as an estimate for CVP. Methods: IOP and CVP were measured concurrently in 30 candidates of coronary artery bypass graft surgery.  Those with carotid artery or jugular venous diseases as we...

Intraocular Pressure during Continuous Positive Airway Pressure

Intraocular pressure reduction and regulation system.

The IOP reduction and regulation system performs certain specific functions: it can be used to lower (or raise) IOP in a controlled way; it responds rapidly to maintain a selectable, set, minimum IOP under variable flow demands; and it reduces the rapid dynamic increases in IOP resulting from loads applied to the eye. The system has been tested and evaluated in the laboratory with a small test ...

Noninvasive intraocular pressure monitoring: current insights

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide and intraocular pressure (IOP) is currently its only modifiable risk factor. Peak IOP has for a long time been considered as a major contributor to glaucoma progression, but its effects may depend not only on its magnitude, but also on its time course. The IOP is nowadays considered to be a dynamic parameter with a circadian rhythm and...

Intraocular pressure reduction in chronic simple glaucoma by continuous infusion of dilute pilocarpine solution.

Ten hospital outpatients with bilateral chronic simple glaucoma received a single drop of 2% pilocarpine to one eye and a continuous infusion of 0.1 % pilocarpine at a flow rate of 0.01 ml/min to the other eye (both solutions were at pH 7.2). On another occasion the treatments were reversed. Measurements of intraocular pressure (IOP) and pupil diameter were made at 30 min intervals for 2 hours....
