[Treatment results with isoglaucon eye drops in sympatheticotone patients with early appearing primary glaucoma (author's transl)].
The sympatholytic substance Clonidin (Isoglaucon) that lowers the intraocular pressure as well as the general blood pressure was tested on a small but homogenous group of patients. This group consisted of 11 middle aged male patients with wide angle glaucoma, elevated blood pressure and sympathicotonia. The intraocular pressure was well controlled in 9 of these, and sufficiently lowered in the remaining two. At the same time the general blood pressure was consistently lowered to some extent and the sympathicotonia improved.
