Effect of mydriasis and accommodation on intraocular pressure and pigment release in patients with the pigment dispersion syndrome
Kawa P; Bialek M; Zagorski ZKlinika Oczna 2007; 109: 198-200
PURPOSE: To determine if mydriasis and accommodation affect intraocular pressure (IOP) and pigment release in patients with the pigment dispersion syndrome (PDS). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Seventeen patients (34 eyes) diagnosed with PDS were included in the study (ten men and seven women). Tonometry was performed on all patients before, and at one and two hours after mydriasis and before, and at one and two hours after sustained reading. The statistical analysis was performed using the paired T-test. RESULTS: In both tests the differences in intraocular pressure values were not statistically significant. Pigment liberation occurred in 11.8% of the patients after mydriasis, but was not associated with an increase in IOP. CONCLUSION: Accommodation during sustained reading did not cause significant pigment release or an IOP rise. LA: Polish
