Early intervention with a combination of medications that are capable, in a gi...
متن کاملResidual deformations in ocular tissues.
Residual deformations strongly influence the local biomechanical environment in a number of connective tissues. The sclera is known to be biomechanically important in healthy and diseased eyes, such as in glaucoma. Here, we study the residual deformations of the sclera, as well as the adjacent choroid and retina. Using freshly harvested porcine eyes, we developed two approaches of quantifying r...
متن کاملAntioxidants and the Integrity of Ocular Tissues
Oxygen-derived free radicals are normally generated in many pathways. These radicals can interact with various cellular components and induce cell injury. When free radicals exceed the antioxidant capacity, cell injury causes diverse pathologic changes in the organs. The imbalance between the generation of free radicals and antioxidant defence is known as oxidative stress. The eye can suffer th...
متن کاملAdverse ocular reactions to drugs.
Drugs acting on various parts of the body may also affect the eye insidiously. Increased awareness of such drug toxicity by the prescribing doctor should encourage him to consider effects on the cornea, lens, retina, optic nerve and elsewhere when checking the patient's progress. The following review concerns adverse ocular effects of systemic drug administration.

The eye may manifest side-effects from a wide variety of drugs used in the treatment of diseases of all systems of the body. Some of these side-effects, though undesirable, have to be accepted as unavoidable. The discovery of serious ocular defects arising in association with the long-term use in high dosage of such drugs as the antimalarials, the phenothiazines, and the steroid hormones has in...
