title: [Pilocarpine as a diagnostic agent for early recognition of a tendency to glaucoma. (Comparable results between Hollwich's pilocarpine-test and tonography) (author's transl)].
abstract: In a group of 20 patients Hollwich's pilocarpine-test and tonography were performed repeatedly at regular intervals, for diagnostic purposes. The results of the pilocarpine-test were compared with those of tonography. Hence it was shown, that the pilocarpine-test performed at the peak of the daily pressure curve, gives comparable results to tonography and hence can be useful when glaucoma suspicion exists in the eye-doctor's surgery.
