Effects of Light on the Intraocular Pressure of Aqueous Humor

چکیده
High Intraocular Pressure (IOP) for longer period of time may guide the eye to different deceases and Glaucoma is one of them. Continuous, non-invasive and comfortable way of measuring IOP is necessary to detect the high IOP at the very early stage. Few methods are involved widely to measure the IOP in the doctor’s chamber. Some other methods can be used by the person himself but those are still in research stage. In this paper, we utilize the basic characteristics of white light and also the physical characteristics of aqueous humor and cornea to propose a continuous, non-invasive way to measure IOP. The change of intraocular pressure is relates to the change of refractive index and that changes are shown with proper plotting.

The ocular hypotensive effects of demeclocycline, tetracycline and other tetracycline derivatives.
Demeclocycline, tetracycline and other tetracycline derivatives lowered intraocular pressure (IOP) in rabbits following intravitreal injection, but the onset of this effect was not evident until 1 or more days after drug administration. Of the drugs tested, demeclocycline was the most active ocular hypotensive agent. Demeclocycline caused a dose-dependent decrease in IOP. The maximum IOP decrea...
متن کاملEvaluation of the pressure cup technique for the measurement of aqueous humor formation.
An evaluation of two types of pressure cups to measure the rate of formation of aqueous humor in normal eyes of human subjects has been made. The application of sufficient negative pressure to the pressure cups placed on freshly enucleated eyes has been found to cause a complete closure of the drainage vessels. Hoivever, the vessels could be reopened by increasing the intraocular pressure. The ...
متن کاملAqueous humor messengers in the transient decrease of intraocular pressure after ganglionectomy.
Intraocular pressure (IOP) decreases in rabbits 1 day after superior cervical ganglionectomy. It was hypothesized that this IOP decrease was caused by an accumulation of norepinephrine (NE) released from the iris-ciliary body into the aqueous humor during nerve degeneration. Direct measurement of aqueous humor NE concentration, however, was not successful because of the technical difficulty. In...

Netarsudil mesylate (previously AR-13324) is a novel Rho kinase and norepinephrine transporter inhibitor previously shown to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with ocular hypertension and open-angle glaucoma. Multiple effects on aqueous humor dynamics (AHD) have been reported in animals including increased outflow facility and reduced aqueous humor production in monkeys, and reduced ...

Background: Immune reactions have been reported to be involved in the destruction of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in glaucoma. Objective: To investigate the role of major histocompatibility complex class I-related chain A and B (MICA and MICB) molecules in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. Methods: Aqueous humor and serum samples from 15 glaucoma patients and 45 patients with cataract, undergoing ...
