PURPOSE To evaluate the comparative efficacy of latanoprost monotherapy versus combined carteolol and pilocarpine therapy in patients with newly diagnosed glaucoma. METHODS Masked randomized prospective trial. This study included 51 patients (64 eyes) with newly diagnosed glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The cases were randomly divided into two treatment groups for administration of latanopro...

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...

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...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the intensity of oxidative molecular damage and its clinical correlations: visual field damage, intraocular pressure, age, and disease duration. METHODS DNA was extracted from human trabecular meshwork specimens collected from 17 glaucoma-affected patients using standard filtration surgery. Twenty-one specimens from healthy eyes collected for cornea transplants serve as ...

PURPOSE To evaluate corneal deformation with varying intraocular pressure and the dependency of the biomechanical response on the corneal hydration state, modulated by the storage solutions or postmortem period. METHODS Thirty fresh enucleated porcine eyes were used for in vitro whole eye globe inflation experiments. The eyes were separated into five groups and treated with different solution...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the intraocular pressure and ocular biometric parameters in migraine patients during acute migraine attacks and compare them with painless period and healthy controls using a new optical biometer AL-Scan. METHODS In this prospective, case-control study, the axial length, corneal curvature radius, anterior chamber depth, central corneal thickness,...

Background: In many clinical situations, knowledge of central venous pressure (CVP) is important.  Measurement of CVP is not always possible. Objective: To determine if intraocular pressure (IOP) can be used as an estimate for CVP. Methods: IOP and CVP were measured concurrently in 30 candidates of coronary artery bypass graft surgery.  Those with carotid artery or jugular venous diseases as we...
