Intra-ocular pressure in onchocerciasis. Some preliminary results of a field evaluation.
Preliminary data are presented on the relationship between intra-ocular pressure and onchocerciasis. There was no significant difference in the mean ocular pressure between persons with no ocular onchocerciasis and those with microfilariae in the eye, but a significantly lower mean tension was observed in those with severe ocular onchocerciasis.
