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 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 effect of trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation (tscpc) in reducing intraocular pressure in eyes with history of pars plana vitrectomy with or without intraocular silicone oil and refractory to medical treatment. methods: medical records of 35 eyes of 35 patients who underwent tscpc for medically uncontrolled glaucoma after pars plana vitrectomy for retinal pathology were...

Introduction: The term glaucoma refers to a group of diseases that have a characteristic optic neuropathy with associated visual field loss in common. Intraocular pressure has been considered to be the only causal factor for glaucoma and the only factor that can be manipulated to alter the course of the disease. But considering high intraocular pressure as the only factor responsible for glauco...

purpose: to evaluate the effects of diurnal fasting during ramadan on intraocular pressure (iop) in healthy subjects. methods: the study was conducted on healthy male volunteer less than 40 years of age without ocular or systemic diseases who were on religious fasting during ramadan, 2004. intraocular pressure were measured at 9 am and 1, 5, and 7 pm in 2nd and 4th weeks of ramadan and also one...

purpose: to compare intraocular pressure (iop) readings measured by the ocular response analyzer (ora) with those measured by the goldmann applanation tonometer (gat) in keratoconic eyes following penetrating keratoplasty (pkp) and to evaluate the influence of anatomical and biomechanical properties of the grafts on iop measurements. methods: this cross-sectional study was conducted on 45 kerat...

purpose: to study the pattern of perfusion of central retinal artery (cra) after 0.1 ml intravitreal injection of bevacizumab to verify the need for any maneuver to decrease the intraocular pressure (iop) including anterior chamber paracentesis (acp) methods: this is a prospective, interventional, noncomparative case series. patients receiving intravitreal injection of bevacizumab for choroidal...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of phacoemulsification and posterior chamber intraocular lens (pciol) implantation on intraocular pressure (iop) in eyes with chronic angle-closure glaucoma. methods: twenty-two patients with chronic angle-closure glaucoma (cacg) and visually significant cataract were included in our study. all were underwent phacoemulsification and pciol implantation. iop, depth...
