Systemic hypotension and glaucomatous changes.
We undertook a prospective study to determine the frequency of development of glaucomatous disk or field changes in a series of patients who had survived at least one episode of shock with poor peripheral tissue perfusion. In 18 patients with 26 distinct episodes of shock we were unable to demonstrate any glaucomatous disk or field changes.
