Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the diurnal intraocular pressure fluctuations under dehydration conditions and the relationship between the intraocular pressure fluctuations and blood pressure. Methods: The intraocular pressures (IOP), body weights, as well as systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP, DBP) of 36 fasting healthy volunteers were recorded at 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m...

To determine the influence of onchocercal eye disease on the intraocular pressure of the Yanomami Tribe Aratha-ú of Roraima State, Brazil, considered endemic for onchocerciasis, a total of 86 patients were submitted to an ophthalmologic exam that included external examination, slit lamp examination, intraocular pressure measurement, and a fundus ophthalmoscope examination. A high prevalence of ...

Intraocular pressure change has been found concurrent with many orbital pathologies, particularly those involving proptosis. The objective of this review is to offer an inclusive classification of orbital disease-related intraocular pressure change, not only for oculoplastics and glaucoma specialists, but also for general ophthalmologists. Various orbital conditions associated with increased in...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of intravitreal bevacizumab (ivb) injection on sustained intraocular pressure (iop) methods: this non-randomized prospective study was conducted on 359 eyes of 359 patients in amir almomenin (rasht) and labbafinejad (tehran) hospitals. after history taking and complete ocular examination, iop was measured one week and one day before injection (twice at each sessi...

purpose : to investigate intraocular pressure (iop) changes due to different serum level heights by using tonopen in acquired globes from the iran eye bank (ieb). methods : in this interventional prospective case series, serum were infused into 18 normal globes acquired from ieb by using 21g needle inserted in vitreal space through optic nerve head to change the iop by different fluid level hei...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of hyaluronidase in preventing increases in intraocular pressure related to injections of hyaluronan-containing viscoelastic substances. METHODS Twenty-five white rabbits were divided into 5 groups. In groups 1 through 4, 0.15 mL of aqueous humor was removed and replaced with 0.10 mL of a viscoelastic substance in both eyes. Additionally, 10 units of hyaluro...

PURPOSE To assess the importance of intraocular pressure measurement obtained at 6:00 a.m. in bed and darkness for the diagnosis and intraocular pressure control of primary open-angle glaucoma. METHODS Retrospective analysis of the daily curve of intraocular pressure of suspects and glaucomatous patients under treatment. Suspects were classified as intraocular pressure values ranging from 19 ...

PURPOSE To evaluate and correlate the peaks and the fluctuation of intraocular pressure seen in the association of the ambulatory intraocular pressure curve with the water-drinking test versus the peaks and the fluctuation seen in the daily intraocular pressure curve. METHODS The sample was as follows: 77 eyes belonging to 77 patients who were divided into three groups composed of 31 eyes bel...
