Summary

Based on a new method of measuring episcleral venous pressure (EVP), i.e., using the ‘air-jet principle’ of Krakau et al. (1973), pseudofacility was determined in 20 human eyes. According to Bárány's formula, a mean value of 23.3 % of the total facility was found, and a mean value of 16.9 % according to Goldmann's formula.

Zusammenfassung

Bei 20 gesunden Probanden beiderlei Geschlechts mit einem Durchschnittsalter von 28 Jahren wurde die Pseudofacility nach den von Bárány und Goldmann vorgeschlagenen Verfahren ermittelt. Die Anwendung der Bárány'schen Formel ergab 23,3 % Anteil der Pseudofacility an der Gesamtfacility, die der Goldmann'schen Formel 16,9 %.
