Methods: One hundred eyes of 100 subjects (between the ages of 17-91) who applied to Adnan Menderes University’s Ophthalmology Clinic between January-March 2015 were included in this study, 50 diabetics (Group 1) and 50 healthy controls (Group 2). The eyes included in the study were randomly chosen. Corneal Hysteresis (CH), Corneal Resistance Factor (CRF), Goldmann correlated Intraocular Pressu...

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...

A prospective study of corneal stiffness parameter 174 eyes healthy subjects with different refractions as well 56 keratoconus was carried out. The groups were comparable in age and gender composition. Correlation performed between (Stiffness Parameter (SP-A1), minimum thickness (MCT) biomechanically compensated intraocular pressure (bIOP) determined using Pentacam HR Corvis ST (OCULUS, Germany...

purpose : to investigate the correlation between corneal biomechanical properties and tomographic parameters of pentacam methods : corneal biomechanical properties and tomographic results of 36 normal subjects were measured by ocular response analyzer (ora) and pentacam and the correlation between these two measurements were analyzed with pearson correlation test with spss version16. results : ...

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...

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of corneal cross-linking on keratoconic eyes in the pediatric age group. Setting: Private laser center, Haifa, Israel, affiliated to Hadassah Hospital, Jerusalem. Methods: This is a retrospective study of 29 eyes of 20 children treated with corneal cross-linking with aim to arrest the progression of keratoconus. We preformed collagen corneal cross-linking using...

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...

PURPOSE We aimed to assess corneal biomechanics using the ocular response analyzer in patients with normal-tension glaucoma (NTG), and to evaluate the relationship between corneal biomechanics and visual field loss. METHODS This was a prospective observational case series including patients with bilateral asymmetric NTG. For all patients, corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CR...
