Influence of thymoxamine on changes in pupil diameter and accommodation produced by homatropine and ephedrine.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Local instillation of thymoxamine eye drops (0-1%) completely reversed the mydriasis produced by ephedrine (5%) but not that produced by ephedrine (5%) together with homatropine (0-5%). Small but significant changes in accomodation were found with ephedrine and with thymoxamine, as well as the larger expected changes with homatropine.

Development of an Accommodation-Dependent Eye Model and Studying the Effects of Accommodation on Electron and Proton Dose Conversion Coefficients
Introduction International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has provided a comprehensive discussion on threshold dose for radiation-induced cataract in ICRP publication 116. Accordingly, various parts of the eye lens have different radio-sensitivities. Recently, some studies have been performed to develop a realistic eye model with the aim of providing accurate estimation of fluence...
متن کاملTranscutaneous electrical stimulation applied to the infratrochlear nerve induces a homatropine-resistant miosis in humans.
1. Both high- and low-intensity transcutaneous electrical stimuli were applied to the emergence of the infratrochlear nerve in 18 healthy subjects. The effect on the size of the homolateral pupil was investigated. The width of the pupil was also measured when high-intensity transcutaneous electrical stimulation was applied to the contralateral side. 2. The high-intensity pulse resulted in const...
متن کاملAccommodative and pupillary responses for a central target and peripheral stimuli
Objective: To investigate the additive influence of peripheral stimuli, we examined accommodative and pupillary response for a fixation target with peripheral stimuli of different luminance at various distances. Methods: The refractive error and size of pupil diameter were measured monocularly by an autorefkeratometer, looking at a central target of 1 degree of arc at a distance of 100 cm throu...

The aim of this study was to determine the combination effect of latanoprost and pilocarpine on theintraocular pressure and pupil size in normal rabbits. In this study, 18 rabbits were randomized to threegroups of 6 animals each. The right eyes of rabbits in group 1 were treated topically with latanoprost, ingroup 2 with pilocarpine and in group 3 with latanoprost and pilocarpine. The left eyes...
متن کاملPeeling the Persistent Pupillary Membrane.
A 6-year girl of Indian ethnicity was referred for poor vision. Examination showed bilateral persistent pupillary membrane covering the central pupil. When pupil was dilated, iris strands were connecting the central 1.5 mm diameter circular membrane with the pupillary margins (Figure 1). Homatropine 2% eye drops, 12-hourly, and spectacle correction of astigmatism failed to improve acuities bett...
