CASE REPORT Mrs. R. O'N., aged 68, was admitted to St. Mary's Hospital, under the care of Mr. Williamson-Noble on January 12, 1951. Her complaints were pain, redness, and diminished vision in the right eye since the latter part of December, 1950. History.-Her ophthalmologist stated that her left eye has been blind for 40 years after a traumatic retinal detachment. The right eye showed a dendrit...

T JLo -onography as developed by Grant has been useful in both laboratory and clinic in elucidating the mechanisms of aqueous dynamics and of glaucoma and in assessing drug action. Tonography is the direct outgrowth of Friedenwald's" work on calibration of the Schi0tz tonometer. The present series of papers is devoted to a re-examination of some of the basic concepts of indentation tonometry in...

STANDARDIZED Schi6tz tonometers of the original (weighted) type have been on sale in the United States for more than 10 years, and a considerable amount of information has been collected which bears out the acceptability of the current specification. This knowledge was assembled in the First Decennial Report of the Committee on Standardization of Tonometers (1954). Following the American lead, ...

.lthough the cornea is very flexible, force must be required to bend it. Goldmann and Schmidt' and Gloster and Perkins following Imbert and Fick have considered bending resistance in applantation tonometry. Friedenwald however, in his studies on Schi0tz tonometry, came to the conclusion that the resistance of the cornea to deformation is negligibly small. The corneal bending forces involved in ...

Background: Some studies have demonstrated that football players may be at risk for clinically relevant increases in blood pressure (BP). BP is often associated with intraocular (IOP). However, there scarce literature on and IOP athletes. The aim of this investigation was therefore to study young professional footballers non-athletes.Methods: A cross-sectional conducted among nineteen (19) male...

BACKGROUND Knowledge of disease pattern in children can help design preventive and curative strategies. OBJECTIVE To study the pattern of ocular morbidity among the primary school children. SUBJECTS AND METHODS All the children of randomly-selected five government primary schools of Dhulikhel were included in this study. A complete eye examination was done in all children including color vi...

It has recently been shown that derived prostaglandins (PGs) of the A and B types are much more potent ocular hypotensive agents than primary PGs of the E, F, or D type. The purpose of this study was to determine whether two representatives of these structurally different PGs, namely PGA2 and PGF2 alpha-1-isopropyl ester (PGF2 alpha IE), reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) of the feline eye by si...
