Two provocative tests for glaucoma.
To assess the value of the provocative tests of glaucoma we investigated the water-drinking and jugular compression tests in about 140 eyes. Three groups of cases were investigated: (i) Normal eyes ... ... ... 50 (ii) Eyes with established glaucoma: (a) chronic simple glaucoma ... ... 33 (b) acute congestive glaucoma ... ... ... 13 57 (c) chronic congestive glaucoma ... ... 1 I J (iii) Pre-glau...
متن کاملComparative provocative tests in glaucoma.
IT is the purpose of this paper to compare the results of the lability test of Bloomfield and Lambert (1945) with those of its two components, the venous-congestion test of Schoenberg (1929) (referred to as the "cuff test") and the coldpressure test of Kahler and Sallmann (1929) (referred to as the "ice test"), on a number of normal and glaucomatous eyes, in conditions which correspond as close...
متن کاملPrimary angle-closure glaucoma. A review of provocative tests.
A PROVOCATIVE test is one that "calls forth" a particular response under a defined set of conditions. For many years, a rise in intra-ocular pressure has been known to follow various circumstances. In attempts to detect glaucoma before serious eye disease occurred or to assess its control, various provocative tests have been elaborated (Leydhecker and Miller, 1949). Because acute angle-closure ...
متن کاملEvaluation of laser iridectomy in angle-closure glaucoma: provocative tests.
An argon laser iridectomy was performed on 18 eyes of 14 patients with closed-angle glaucoma. The intraocular pressure (IOP) was controlled in all but one eye within normal limits. Variable amounts of pigment were found on gonioscopy in all cases. The mydriasis test was positive in one eye (5.5%) after homatropine and in 5 eyes (28%) after tropicamide drops. 80% of the positive results occurred...
متن کاملA New Provocative Test for Glaucoma
PURPOSE To compare the effects of the water-drinking test (WDT) with the 30° inverted body position test on intraocular pressure (IOP) in normal patients, suspected glaucoma patients and glaucoma patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Based on clinical evaluation of the optic disk, IOP, and standard achromatic perimetry (SAP) of 71 eyes, 18 were "normal" (normal SAP and optic disk evaluation, and IO...
