title: [Visual perception under the influence of a tranquilizer (author's transl)].
abstract: In a double blind study, the influence of the tranquilizer Camazepam on different ophthalmological parameters was examined. The 12 test persons were between 20 and 30 years of age and had entirely normal ocular findings. Visual acuity was uninfluenced by a single dose of 40 mg of Camazepam, reflecting the very slightly hypnotic effect of the drug. Roughly half of the patients showed a considerable widening of the visual field, thought to be related to the stimulation of attention caused by Camazepam. Finally the lack of muscle relaxing properties of Camazepam was confirmed as regards the extraocular muscles, since their balance remained uninfluenced as well.
