Effects of anti-glaucoma drugs on resistive index of the medial long posterior ciliary artery using color Doppler imaging in Beagle dogs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Color Doppler imaging (CDI) was carried out to evaluate the effects of anti-glaucoma drugs on ophthalmic circulation using CDI-derived resistive index (RI) values. CDI was performed on nine Beagle dogs, and RI values were calculated for the medial long posterior ciliary artery before and after the administration of anti-glaucoma drugs. A significant increase in RI values was found after topical administration of levobunolol (p < 0.05) or dipivefrin (p < 0.05). Pilocarpine showed no effects on RI values after topical administration. The results suggest that some anti-glaucoma drugs could affect ophthalmic blood flow.

PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of four commonly used beta-blockers on ocular blood flow in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). METHODS Eighty eyes of 40 subjects with POAG were included in the study. Subjects were randomly divided into four groups given timolol maleate 0.50%, betaxolol HCl 0.50%, carteolol 1% or levobunolol 0.50% drops, applied twice daily (one drug to each gro...
متن کاملReproducibility of color Doppler imaging for orbital arteries in Japanese patients with normal-tension glaucoma.
The reproducibility of measurements by color Doppler imaging (CDI) were evaluated in Japanese patients with normal-tension glaucoma. Measurements were taken in the central retinal artery, the ophthalmic artery, and the short posterior ciliary arteries. Reproducibility was evaluated by calculating the coefficients of reproducibility for the peak systolic and end diastolic velocities and for the ...
