purpose : to compare the intraocular pressure (iop) lowering effect and side effects of xalatan with generic latanoprost (xalabiost) in adults with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension methods : this was a two-center prospective randomized, crossover clinical trial. eligible patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension were sequentially randomized to two parallel study groups ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the reproducibility of intraocular pressure (IOP) peaks and fluctuations detected during the water-drinking test (WDT) in patients with exfoliation syndrome (XFS) and exfoliative glaucoma (XFG). METHODS This prospective study included 34 XFS and 30 XFG patients. Each patient was evaluated twice, with the two WDTs performed on a 30-day interval. We recorded IOP peak (highes...

background: decreasing intraocular pressure (iop) and preventing the iop rising during cataract surgery, is one of the most important factors in successful cataract surgery. this study was conducted to investigate the effects of intravenous lidocaine on iop in cataract surgery under sedation. methods: the study was a double blind controlled trial which firstly, the patient’s iop was measured. t...

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...

PURPOSE To determine the long-term repeatability of diurnal intraocular pressure (IOP) patterns in healthy Asian subjects without glaucoma. METHODS Twenty-three eyes in 23 healthy Asian subjects without glaucoma underwent diurnal IOP measurements using Goldmann applanation tonometry every 2 hours from 9 AM to 11 PM during two visits that were 8 weeks apart. To validate repeatability between v...

PURPOSE To assess the short-term day-to-day reproducibility of 24-hour intraocular pressure (IOP) curves in various respects in untreated primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT) patients. METHODS 47 subjects with POAG and 34 subjects with OHT underwent IOP measurements every 2 hours in both eyes for consecutive 48 hours by a non-contact tonometer (NCT). IOP values at ...
