Trachoma and increased intraocular pressure.
In trachomatous areas a large percentage of patients with glaucoma also show signs of trachoma. The WHO (I 956) defined trachoma as a specific communicable keratoconjunctivitis, usually of chronic evolution, characterized by the formation of follicles, papillary hyperplasia, and pannus, and typically leading to scar formation. Contradictory reports have appeared in the literature regarding the ...

متن کاملStudies of intraocular pressure. II. The histopathology of experimentally increased intraocular pressure in the rabbit.
The aqueous humor outflow channels of the rabbit eye were obstructed by placement of polyethylene tubing in the angle of the anterior chamber. Within 24 hours the intraocular pressure was elevated and remained so for 3 months after which time the animals were killed. Histologic examination verified the selective loss of ganglion cells, loss of myelin from optic nerve fibers, and deep excavation...
متن کاملIncreased Intraocular Pressure and Hyperglycemic Level in Diabetic Patients
PURPOSE To determine whether hyperglycemic levels as determined from high hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels influence intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed on subjects with a diagnosis of NPDR and a corresponding HbA1c level measured within 90 days before or after an IOP measurement over a two-...
متن کاملDetermination 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...
