The effects of systemic medications on ocular blood flow.
TL;DR: Some evidence exists for a positive effect of centrally acting calcium-channel blockers, nitric oxide precursors, adenosine, histamine, estrogens, and ginkgo biloba extract, while evidence for a negative effect on OBF exists for endothelin-1 and indomethacin.

Intraocular pressure and its relationship to ocular and systemic factors in a healthy Chinese rural population: the Handan Eye Study.
Qiang Zhou,Yuanbo Liang,Tien Yin Wong,Tien Yin Wong,Xiao Hui Yang,Liying Lian,Dan Zhu,Lan Ping Sun,Ningli Wang,David S. Friedman +9 more
TL;DR: IOP appeared to be lower with increasing age in Chinese subjects, which contrasts with results in white populations, and mean IOP among persons living in rural northern China was similar to that recently reported in southern China.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heritability of intraocular pressure: a classical twin study.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that genetic effects are important in determining IOP in this twin population; genetic factors explained 62%, 63% and 74% of the variation in IOP using GAT, DCT and ORA IOPg, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is there a relationship between blood pressure and intraocular pressure? An experimental study in hypertensive rats.
TL;DR: A positive relation between blood pressure and intraocular pressure in hypertensive rats is suggested and general anesthesia reduced IOP significantly, although it abolished the development of hypertension in SHR.

TL;DR: Ocular hypertension is sufficiently common in eyes treated for uveitis that surveillance for OHT is essential at all visits for all cases andModifiable risk factors, such as use of corticosteroids, suggest opportunities to reduce OHT risk within the constraints of the overriding need to control the primary ocular inflammatory disease.

The Beaver Dam Eye Study. Retinopathy in adults with newly discovered and previously diagnosed diabetes mellitus.
TL;DR: The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy was examined in people with newly discovered noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) (n = 50) and in those with previously diagnosed diabetes.

Determinants of disease and disability in the elderly: the Rotterdam Elderly Study.
TL;DR: The Rotterdam Elderly Study as discussed by the authors investigated determinants of disease occurrence and progression in the elderly in order to contribute to the understanding of the etiology of geriatric illnesses and to lead to specific recommendations for intervention.

TL;DR: This report updates findings of previous reports in several respects: it broadens the step-care approach to provide more flexibility for clinicians; encourages greater patient involvement in the treatment program; emphasizes a consideration of the quality of life in the management of patients; and addresses the cost of care.

TL;DR: The prevalence of open-angle glaucoma in Beaver Dam is similar to that in other white populations, and findings from this study re-emphasize the notion that estimates of glauca prevalence should be based on assessing multiple risk indicators.
