Aqueous humour turnover and intraocular pressure during menstruation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Both intraocular pressure and aqueous humour turnover rate were determined at intervals over three months in three females in order to investigate whether a correlation existed between these variables and the menstrual cycle. Not only was there a lack of correlation between intraocular pressure or aqueous humour flow rate and menses but intraocular pressure and aqueous humour flow rate were also not related to each other. If pharmacologically administered doses of progesterone or oestrogen influence intraocular pressure, the present data indicate that the effect is probably mediated through effects on the aqueous outflow pathways.

Obstruction of trabecular orifices in primary open - angle glaucoma
The morphologic and structural changes undergone by the trabecular meshwork have frequently been related to the development of primary open-angle glaucoma, which consists of a sustained increase in intraocular pressure due to the accumulation of aqueous humour in the anterior chamber of the eye. The aqueous humour leaves the anterior chamber of the eye, passing through the trabecular orifices t...
متن کاملIntraocular pressure and systemic blood pressure in the elderly.
The intraocular and systemic blood pressure, height, weight, and haemoglobin were measured in 573 subjects over 60 years old from a general practice population. Intraocular pressure was positively and independently related to systemic blood pressure (P less than 0.0001) and obesity (P less than 0.01) as assessed by the ponderal index. Systolic pressure rather than diastolic or mean pressure was...
متن کاملProstaglandin D2 reduces intraocular pressure.
When PGD2 was topically applied to the rabbit eye a reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) was observed within 30 min. The IOP reduction lasted throughout the observation period of 7 hours. No increase of IOP was observed during the period. The effect of PGD2 was dose-dependent (0.4 microgram to 250 micrograms), and the minimum effective dose was estimated to be 2.0 micrograms. The application...
متن کاملInfluence of the intra-ocular pressure on the formation of the aqueous humour and the outflow resistance in the living eye.
THIS study deals with the problem of the regulation of the intra-ocular pressure and the influence of pressure on the formation and the resistance to outflow of the aqueous humour. The main experimental approach has been to analyse the relationship between the steady state intra-ocular pressure and varied rates of flow of fluid through the anterior chamber of living and dead eyes. In the experi...
