Abstract
Electromanometric measurements of blood pressure and intraocular pressure, carried out in rabbits after the intravenous administration of Norphen, Peripherin, Sympatol, Hydergin, Tropodil, Complamin, Euphyllin and Vasculat showed that the changes in the pressure curves were largely in the same sense. Apart from a "passive" correlation of the intraocular pressure with the blood pressure, the local effects of pharmaceuticals administered are also discussed. The results obtained provide both general medicine and ophthalmology with insights into the mode of action of drugs, some of which are frequently administered. In addition, they serve both to provide information on the desirable curative effects of the drugs and to help prevent damage being done to the organ of sight.
