purpose: to compare intraocular pressure (iop) readings measured by the ocular response analyzer (ora) with those measured by the goldmann applanation tonometer (gat) in keratoconic eyes following penetrating keratoplasty (pkp) and to evaluate the influence of anatomical and biomechanical properties of the grafts on iop measurements. methods: this cross-sectional study was conducted on 45 kerat...

purpose: to study the pattern of perfusion of central retinal artery (cra) after 0.1 ml intravitreal injection of bevacizumab to verify the need for any maneuver to decrease the intraocular pressure (iop) including anterior chamber paracentesis (acp) methods: this is a prospective, interventional, noncomparative case series. patients receiving intravitreal injection of bevacizumab for choroidal...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of phacoemulsification and posterior chamber intraocular lens (pciol) implantation on intraocular pressure (iop) in eyes with chronic angle-closure glaucoma. methods: twenty-two patients with chronic angle-closure glaucoma (cacg) and visually significant cataract were included in our study. all were underwent phacoemulsification and pciol implantation. iop, depth...

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...

Background: Cataract surgery is one of the most common surgeries in the world, especially in elderly patients, and often performed topically with sedative agents. Ketamine is one of the most commonly used agents and the effect of different doses on intraocular pressure is in dispute. The present study investigates the effect of a low dose of ketamine on intraocular pressure in patients undergoi...

The efficacy of intraocular pressure reduction in retarding the progression of glaucoma has been demonstrated. This review examines the potential for prognostic advantage for glaucoma suspects in reducing their optic nerve head exposure to elevated intraocular pressure associated with activities which have been shown to elevate intraocular pressure. In this observational study, patients examine...

Physical exercise in humans induces changes intraocular pressure, relating to the type and intensity of workload. The purpose present study was evaluate variations pressure arterial blood dogs that underwent physical on a treadmill. Thirty were submitted consisting walking (15 minutes), trotting (20 (10 minutes). pulse rate recorded for each dog before starting treadmill exercise, immediately a...

introduction: cataract is an opacified lens and senile cataract is a common disorder. it is desirable to reduce intraocular pressure (iop) in order to minimize intra and post operative difficulties and complications. many researches have studied the effects of muscle relaxants on iop. comparison effect of atracurium and pancuronium on iop has been evaluated in one study with a small sample size...

the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a combination of latanoprost and pilocarpine onthe intraocular pressure in experimentally glaucomatous rabbits. ocular hypertension was induced in 11conscious rabbits by the oral administration of tap water (70 ml/kg) via an orogastric tube. the study wasconducted in three therapeutic groups to test the effects of latanoprost (group l), p...
