It was assumed that the effect was a result of occlusion of the anterior ciliary veins, although just how this venous congestion would result in a glaucoma was not adequately defined. In view of the accumulating evidence for a neurohumoral homeostatic control mechanism regulating the intraocular pressure, the present study was undertaken to further explore the various factors involved in the production of this interesting glaucoma.

Method and Material

Adult albino rabbits (2 to 4 kg [4.4 to 8.8 lb]) and adult mongrel dogs (8 to 10 kg [17.6 to 22 lb]) anesthetized with intravenous secobarbital were used. In all experiments following the induction of general anesthesia, the ocular tension was measured at ten-minute intervals until stable readings were obtained (usually 30 to 40 minutes).
