Steroid glaucoma: corticosteroid-induced ocular hypertension in cats
GL Zhan, OC Miranda, LZ Bito - Experimental eye research, 1992 - Elsevier
This study was undertaken to develop a feline model of corticosteroid-induced ocular
hypertension. In the first experiment, eight cats were selected whose intraocular pressure
(17±0.4 mmHg) was consistently below the mean baseline intraocular pressure of our
colony (24±0.5) during the preceding 2 months. Unilateral twice or thrice daily topical
application of 10 μl 1% dexamethasone sodium phosphate caused a gradual intraocular
pressure increase that became significant (P< 0.05) within 2–3 weeks. There was no …
