The effect of pilocarpine and acetazolamide on the outflow resistance in normal and glaucomatous human eyes

  • Published:
Documenta Ophthalmologica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

In 43 normal and 16 glaucomatous cases pilocarpine produces a resistance change which shows a significant correlation to the initial outflow resistance, whereas acetazolamide produces a change in pressure correlated to the initial pressure.

Résumé

La pilocarpine a produit dans 43 cas normaux et 16 cas de glaucome un changement de la résistance d'écoulement dont le montant est en corrélation avec la résistance d'écoulement déterminée avant l'application de la drogue. L'acétazolamide en revanche a produit un changement de la tension intraoculaire proportionnel à la tension mesurée avant l'application du médicament.

Zusammenfassung

In 43 normalen und 16 Glaukomfällen bewirkt Pilocarpin eine Änderung des Abflußwiderstandes, deren Größe eine Korrelation zum Widerstand vor Pilocarpinapplikation zeigte. Acetazolamid macht eine Druckänderung, die dem Druck vor der Anwendung des Medikaments korreliert ist.
