title: [Anesthesia with isoflurane in surgery of the anterior segment of the eye].
abstract: The effects of isoflurane on intraocular pressure (IOP) were studied in 46 patients undergoing cataract surgery. The IOP was measured 30 minutes after premedication, 10 minutes after induction of anesthesia and 10 minutes after administration of isoflurane. Since a significant decrease of IOP was found to occur after the administration of volatile agent, and in account of absence of complications or side effects, the Authors conclude that isoflurane can be considered a suitable anesthetic agent in ophthalmic surgery.
