To evaluate the effect of 0.125% verapamil and 0.5% diltiazem eye drops on intraocular pressure (IOP) in steroid-induced glaucoma in rabbit eyes.
A total of 18 rabbits with steroid-induced glaucoma were divided into three groups (A, B and C; n = 6 each). Right eyes in groups A, B and C received 0.5% diltiazem, 0.125% verapamil and 0.5% timolol eye drops twice daily for 12 days, respectively; whereas, left eyes received distilled water. IOP was measured with Tono-pen XL at baseline, day 4, day 8, and day 12 of treatment.
Both 0.5% diltiazem and 0.125% verapamil eye drops significantly reduced IOP compared to control eyes (p < 0.05). Reduction of IOP by 0.5% diltiazem, 0.125% verapamil eye drops were comparable to 0.5% timolol. No surface toxicity or systemic side effects were noted during the study period.
Calcium channel blockers, verapamil, and diltia-zem significantly reduced IOP in rabbiteyes. This group of drugs may have a potential role in treatment of glaucoma How to cite this article: Ganekal S, Dorairaj S, Jhanji V, Kudlu K.

评估0.125%维拉帕米和0.5%地尔硫卓滴眼液对兔眼激素性青光眼眼压(IOP)的影响。
将18只激素性青光眼兔分为三组(A、B和C组;每组n = 6)。A、B和C组的右眼分别每天两次给予0.5%地尔硫卓、0.125%维拉帕米和0.5%噻吗洛尔滴眼液,共12天;而左眼给予蒸馏水。在治疗的基线、第4天、第8天和第12天用Tono-pen XL测量眼压。
与对照眼相比,0.5%地尔硫卓和0.125%维拉帕米滴眼液均显著降低了眼压(p < 0.05)。0.5%地尔硫卓、0.125%维拉帕米滴眼液降低眼压的效果与0.5%噻吗洛尔相当。在研究期间未观察到表面毒性或全身副作用。
钙通道阻滞剂维拉帕米和地尔硫卓可显著降低兔眼眼压。这组药物可能在青光眼治疗中具有潜在作用。如何引用本文:Ganekal S, Dorairaj S, Jhanji V, Kudlu K. 局部钙通道阻滞剂对激素性青光眼眼压的影响。《J Current Glau Prac》2014;8(1):15 - 19。
