Objective: To compare the effects of polyacrylamide and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose on postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation. Material and Methods: This prospective study comprised 80 eyes of 72 consecutive patients who underwent cataract surgery and implantation of foldable intraocular lens. Each eye was assigned to either group 1 or group 2. Polyacrylamide was used in group 1 a...

PURPOSE To determine whether patients can guess their intraocular pressure (IOP). DESIGN Patient survey. METHODS We asked consecutive patients to guess their IOP and then indicate the IOP and the symptoms that allowed them to guess. RESULTS Of 132 patients, 22 (17%) believed they could guess their IOP, usually based on a periocular symptom (n = 20, 91%). Nine of these patients (45%) corre...

UNLABELLED Selective laser trabeculoplasty--medium term efficacy and safety profile in open anlgle glaucoma or ocular hypertension treatment: SLT effect in reducing the intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. MATERIAL AND METHOD 70 eyes from 70 patients were included in the study in 2014 (12 months); the established design for this research was ...

This study was designed to determine the changes in intraocular pressure (10?) during hemodialysis in the uremic animal and to elucidate those parameters responsible for these changes. An increase in intraocular pressure averaging 41.8 per cent of the control occurred in uremic animals during dialysis. The rise started 21 minutes after dialysis was initiated and reached the maximum 45 to 75 min...

Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative condition that is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is the main risk factor for the development and progression of the disease. Methods to lower IOP remain the first line treatments for the condition. Current methods of IOP measurement do not permit temporary noninvasive monitoring 24-hour IOP on a periodic...

AIMS The tonographic effect is a phenomenon of intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction following repeated tonometry. This study examines whether the tonographic effect occurs following IOP measurement performed with Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA). METHODS Both eyes of 31 glaucoma patients and 35 healthy controls underwent nine IOP-measurements performed with GAT and ORA. The number of GAT and OR...

Objective: To compare the efficacy of topical 0.5% Levobunolol and 0.2% Brimonidine in preventing intraocular pressure rise after Nd: YAG laser posterior capsulotomy. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial (RCT). Setting and Duration of Study: Ophthalmology Department Combined Military Hospital Multan, from September 2010 to March 2011. Patients and Methods: A total of 82 patients fulfilling...

PURPOSE To investigate the immediate effect of intravitreal injection of bevacizumab on intraocular pressure (IOP). METHODS This was a prospective and nonrandomized study. A total of 291 eyes with macular edema or active choroidal neovascularization were submitted to a single 1.25 mg (0.05 mL) bevacizumab intravitreal injection. Intraocular pressure was measured with an Icare(®) tonometer imm...

PURPOSE Intraocular pressure (IOP) is an important clinical parameter in the evaluation of ocular health. Elevated IOP is a major risk factor for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). The goal of this study was to identify rare and less common variants that influence IOP. METHODS We performed an exome array analysis in a subset of 1660 individuals from a population-based cohort, the Beaver Dam ...
