Effects of Systemic Drugs on Intraocular Pressure

Effects of Two Systemic Drugs on Intraocular Pressure in Narrow Angle Glaucoma

To assess intraocular pressure changes among glaucoma patients on systemic antihypertensive and antihistaminic drugs.

Changes in intraocular pressure in glaucomatous patients with narrow angle may elicit attacks of angle closure glaucoma.

In this study we aim to assess changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) among glaucomatous patients on systemic antihypertensive and antihistaminic drugs.

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients with narrow angle glaucoma on systemic antihypertensive and/or antihistaminic drugs.

Exclusion Criteria:

• open angle glaucoma patients confirmed by gonioscopy examination.
• Cases with dense corneal opacity or iris trauma that may affects gonioscopy examination.
• cases with secondary glaucoma.
