Abstract
- The intraocular pressures(IOP) were measured in both eyes of 30 healthy volunteers in sitting, supine, and 30 degrees head down positions One eye was pretreated with 1% carteolol or placebo(Tears naturale)applied in a masked, randomised fashion, while the other served as control. Although IOP changes in response to carteolol and to postural changes were significant(P<0.01), carteolol did not significantly alter relative changes in IOP from positional changes This results suggests that the overall pressure lowering effect may offer some protection to patients with glaucoma.
