Intraocular Pressure Response to Topical Corticosteroids.
نویسنده
چکیده
The intraocular pressure response to topical betamethasone appears to be genetically determined. A study of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma, their relatives, glaucoma suspects, and volunteers shows three populations as to degree of responsiveness. It is suggested that these are the phenotypes which relate to the homozygous poor responder (nn), the heterozygous responder (ng), and the homozygous greater responder (gg).

Intraocular pressure response to corticosteroids in children.
A total of 44 children who suffered from vernal conjunctivitis were treated with topical dexamethasone 0.1% 4 times daily for 6 weeks and tested for their intraocular pressure. There was a statistically significant difference (P less than 0.01) between the responders in our group of children and a group of normal adults reported on by Armaly in 1965.
متن کاملIntraocular Pressure Effects of Common Topical Steroids for Post-Cataract Inflammation: Are They All the Same?
The efficacy of topical corticosteroids as ocular anti-inflammatory agents following cataract surgery is well-documented. They also help to prevent a number of complications associated with post-operative ocular inflammation, including corneal edema and cystoid macular edema. However, topical corticosteroids are associated with side effects, such as increased intraocular pressure (IOP). Indeed,...
متن کاملThe relationship of intranasal steroids to intraocular pressure.
Intranasal corticosteroids have become a gold standard in therapy for allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. A direct relationship between topical and systemic corticosteroids and elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) has been recognized for more than 50 years. However, this steroid-induced response is highly variable. Glaucoma is an eye disease caused by an increase in IOP and results in optic nerve cell...
