Pregnancy and intraocular pressure
Dear Editor, The report on “pregnancy and intraocular pressure (IOP)” is very interesting.[1] Saylik and Saylik concluded that “increased ocular hypotensive effect of twin pregnancies is most likely related to the presence of higher levels of hormones, particularly estrogen, progesterone and relaxin compared with singleton pregnancies.”[1] In fact ...

Intraocular Pressure Fluctuation: Is It Important? [PDF]
Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for the development and progression of glaucoma. Previous prospective, randomized, long-term studies have demonstrated the strength of IOP reduction in slowing the progression of disease.

The influence of retrobulbar adipose tissue volume upon intraocular pressure in obesity [PDF]
Background/Aim. It is known that glaucoma is associated with elevated intraocular pressure and obesity, yet the precise etiology remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a potential causality between the volume of ...

Atracurium and intraocular pressure. [PDF]
The effect of atracurium on intraocular pressure was studied by comparing it with pancuronium in a randomised controlled trial. The intraocular pressure was measured in patients undergoing cataract surgery before administration of the muscle relaxant, at 1, 3, and 5 minutes after its administration, and at 1 minute after tracheal intubation. Atracurium

Effects of Atracurium on Intraocular Pressure
The effects of atracurium on intraocular pressure (IOP) were compared with those of pancuronium in 20 patients less than 45 years-of-age requiring surgery for trauma of one eye. After a standard premedication and the application of topical analgesia to the upper airway, anaesthesia was induced with thiopentone i.v. and the trachea was intubated without
