the ophthalmologic outcomes of diabetes were important. this research is conducted to assess the relation between diabetes and intraocular pressure changes in the patients of avicenna hospital, compared with healthy persons referring to the facility. with cross-sectional research, 400 persons including 200 diabetics and non-diabetics were selected on a random basis over one year in 2012. resear...

The relationship between intraocular and systemic blood pressures was investigated in a prospective study of 572 middle-aged men. There was no consistent relationship between intraocular pressure at first visit and age. Subjects with an intraocular pressure greater than 20 mm Hg had a significantly higher systolic blood pressure than controls matched for age. An autoregressive model was used to...

conclusion the study evaluated the biomechanical properties of the on and peripapillary structures in vivo with swe in glaucoma. we observed stiffer on and peripapillary tissue in glaucomatous eyes, indicating that swe claims new perspectives in the evaluation of on and peripapillary structures in glaucoma disease. background primary open-angle glaucoma is a multifactorial serious disease chara...

Background: To evaluate the agreement in intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements by Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) and Tono-Pen XL (TXL) with the Goldmann Applanation Tonometer (GAT) and to examine corneal biomechanical properties in aphakic glaucoma patients with a central corneal thickness (CCT) >600 µ. Methods: Thirty-six eyes of aphakic glaucoma patients (group 1) and 40 eyes of normal chil...

While the relationship between intraocular pressure and plasma osmolarity has been investigated during hemodialysis, no research has been published concerning the relationship between intraocular pressure and plasma colloid osmotic pressure during hemodialysis. We describe a patient with neovascular glaucoma who demonstrated a marked decrease in intraocular pressure during hemodialysis. The pat...

The tissue pressure of the intraocular contents is called the intraocular pressure (IOP). The normal range for IOP is 10–20 mm Hg and is maintained at this level throughout life and between the sexes, though there is some diurnal and seasonal variation. Control of IOP within the correct physiological range is necessary to maintain the anatomical conditions necessary for optimal refraction and t...

BACKGROUND To examine the outcome and complications of combined phacoemulsification and endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation as surgical management of cataract and glaucoma. DESIGN Retrospective uncontrolled case series from the glaucoma unit, Western Eye Hospital, London, UK. PARTICIPANTS Sixty-three eyes from 59 patients with coexisting cataract and glaucoma. METHODS Patients underwent rout...

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...

purpose: to compare the preoperative and postoperative measurement of intraocular pressure (iop) using goldman applanation tonometry (gat), the air puff and pascal dynamic contour tonometers (pdct) in eyes undergoing myopic and myopic astigmatic photorefractive keratectomy (prk). methods: in a descriptional -analytic and prospective study, a complete examination was performed at the slit lamp, ...
