title: [Psychotropic drugs and glaucoma (author's transl)].
abstract: The i.o. pressure and tonography were studied on 51 patients with endogenous depressions. The patients were treated 10-43 days with psycho-pharmacological drugs (Indoline, Imipramine, Amitriptyline, Noxiptiline and Phenothiazine). In no case does the therapy with the drugs induce an increase of i.o. pressure or-in normal eyes-of tonography. In latent of manifest glaucoma (7 patients) Clomipramine increased the tonography in 1 case, whereas Amitriptyline and Noxiptiline reduced it in 4 cases. The study demonstrated that the commonly used psycho-pharmaca are no contraindication to wide-angle glaucoma.
