Effect of oxybuprocaine 0.4% in preventing surgically induced miosis.

چکیده
In a group of 68 patients a double-blind study was performed to assess the effect of preoperative oxybuprocaine 0.4% (Dorsacaine, Novesin) eye drops in comparison with a placebo in preventing surgically induced miosis during extracapsular cataract extraction. One drop of oxybuprocaine 0.4% or placebo was instilled 10 and 5 minutes preoperatively. The pupil diameter was recorded at different stages of the operation. It was found that oxybuprocaine reduced the amount of pupil constriction during the operation significantly as compared with the placebo group, facilitating the removal of lens material and the implantation of an intraocular lens. The effect of oxybuprocaine is considered to be due to anaesthetic action on sensory nerves in the eye, which may inhibit the release of a miotic substance.

The effect of piroxicam in preventing surgically induced miosis.
The effect of an antiprostaglandin, piroxicam, in preventing surgically induced miosis is studied. Patients undergoing extracapsular cataract surgery were randomly divided into the piroxicam and placebo groups. Intra-operative measurements of the pupillary diameters were performed. The stages of procedure at which they were measured were at the beginning of operation (Stage 1), after anterior c...

A double-blind study was performed on 64 patients to assess the effect of preoperative indomethacin in comparison with a placebo in preventing surgically induced miosis during extracapsular cataract extraction. One drop of indomethacin or placebo was instilled at 7.00 p.m. and at 9.00 p.m. the night before surgery and 2 hours, 1 hour, and 15 minutes preoperatively. The pupil diameter was record...
متن کاملThe effect of a combination of 0.1% tetracaine HCl and 0.4% oxybuprocaine HCl on human central corneal thickness measurements
A combination of 0.1% tetracaine HCl and 0.4% oxybuprocaine HCl is used when carrying out morphometrical corneal studies in vivo by means of ultrasound pachymetry. The aim of this was to determine the effect of a combination of 0.1% tetracaine HCl and 0.4% oxybuprocaine HCl anesthetic eye drops on central corneal thickness values. We carried out a prospective study involving 30 eyes of 30 healt...

This study was designed to investigate the protective effect and possible molecular mechanism of liquiritin on oxybuprocaine-induced apoptosis of human corneal endothelial cells (HCECs). In this study, the effect of oxybuprocaine on the proliferation of HCEC-12 was detected using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8). The inductive effect of oxybuprocaine on HCEC-12 apoptosis and protective effect of liq...
