Objectives To determine whether the bovine eye develops elevation of intraocularpressure
(IOP) in response to topical corticosteroid use and to develop areliable model of steroid-
induced elevation of IOP in an animal. Methods Intraocular pressure was monitored by
Perkins applanation tonometryin a group of 12 cows receiving topically administered
prednisolone acetatein 1 eye 3 times a day for a period of 49 days after the establishment
ofbaseline IOP values. Perkins readings were converted to IOP in mm Hg usingcalibration …
