Base-line intraocular pressure was similar in the rabbit eye ivith a transected optic nerve and the opposite eye subjected to a sham operation. Hyperosmotic oral ethanol, at doses of 1.5 to 2.0 ml. per kilogram, lowered intraoctdar pressure significantly less in eyes with transected optic nerves than in their fellow eyes with intact optic nerves. Smaller doses of ethanol (0.75 ml. per kilogram)...

purpose: to compare corneal biomechanical properties and intraocular pressure (iop) in eyes with pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (pbk) before and after descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (dsaek). methods: this prospective non-randomizedintrasubject comparative study was conducted on 44eyes of 22 patients with the diagnosis ofpbk who underwent dsaek in one eye.intraocular pre...

A new method has been devised for continual monitoring of intraocular pressure by radiotelemetry. The use of this instrument for monitoring intraocular pressure by a variety of ophthalmic conditions is described.

Topical administration of 1% vanadate in a formulation designed to enhance penetration lowered intraocular pressure in monkeys' eyes. The decrease in intraocular pressure was associated with significant decreases in aqueous humor flow. Tonographic outflow facility was unaltered by topical vanadate.

.he first report of a decrease in intraocular pressure following smoking of marihuana was received with a fair amount of skepticism, mirth, and bad publicity in the press, such as articles informing the public of a new "cure" for glaucoma. Now that the smoke has cleared, it is time to evaluate the effects of marihuana on the eye and make an objective assessment of the potential therapeutic valu...

purpose : to evaluate corneal visco-elasticity and intraocular pressure (iop) changes measured by an ocular response analyzer (ora) after scleral buckling methods : fifty-six eyes with history of scleral buckling surgery three months ago were included in the study. corneal hysteresis (ch), corneal resistance factor (crf), corneal-compensated iop (iopcc) and goldmann-correlated iop (iopg) were m...

Despite exciting progress in the field of neuro-protection, lowering the intraocular pressure is still the only available option to treat glaucoma patients. The level to which the intraocular pressure should be lowered is different for each individual patient. The formula proposed to calculate the "target pressure" takes into account the pressure at which the glaucomatous damage presumably occu...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the fluctuations in intraocular pressure during the day and to see if these are associated with changes in corneal shape and in the patterns of ocular aberrations. METHODS Intraocular pressure, corneal curvature, refractive error, spherical equivalent and aberrations (defocus (sphere); cylinder (astigmatism); coma, trefoil and third order spherical aberration) were me...

It is known that marijuana smoking and administration of natural cannabinoids reduce intraocular pressure. However, it has not been established whether the intraocular pressure-lowering effects of cannabinoids are mediated by cannabinoid receptors. Aminoalkylindoles are a new class of cannabimimetics with structures entirely different from those of natural cannabinoids. WIN55212-2, a prototypic...
