The effect of Healon and timolol on early postoperative intraocular pressure after extracapsular cataract extraction with implantation of a posterior chamber lens.

In a prospective, randomized, masked study the effect of sodium hyaluronate (Healon) and timolol on the acute intraocular pressure rise after extracapsular cataract extraction with implantation of a posterior chamber lens were evaluated. Intraocular pressure was measured preoperatively and 3-6 h and 24 h postoperatively. When no timolol was used, a significant rise in intraocular pressure was observed at 3-6 h, whether or not Healon was aspirated. Timolol reduced the intraocular pressure rise, especially during the first 3-6 h after surgery. When timolol was not applied at the end of surgery, IOP exceeded 30 mmHg in 28% 3-6 h postoperatively, compared to only 4% when timolol was applied.

Twelve-hour IOP control obtained by a single dose of timolol/pilocarpine combination eye drops.

The 12 h IOP control achieved by a single application of a newly developed ophthalmic solution containing 0.5% timolol and 2% resp. 4% pilocarpine was compared with that obtained by 1 dose of timolol 0.5% alone in 33 patients with manifest open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The combined solutions gave a significantly better 12 h IOP control, evidenced by both a reduced mean diurnal IOP and a decreased frequency of larger pressure peaks.

Argon laser trabeculoplasty--5 years experience from a local eye department.

Argon Laser Trabeculoplasty (ALT) have been used in the treatment of open angle glaucoma since 1982. During a five-year period, 1982-1986, the annual rate of glaucoma filtering operations has decreased steadily from 65 to 8. The pressure reducing effect is good both in simple and capsular glaucoma. In secondary glaucoma ALT failed to control the intraocular pressure in about 50%. Simple and capsular glaucoma respond well to repeated ALT, but in secondary glaucoma repeated ALT seems to be useless.
