The relation between visual sensitivity and intraocular pressure in normal eyes.
Intraocular pressure and flicker modulation sensitivity at 25 and 40 Hz were measured in 22 normal observers, with an age range from 20-71 years. Significant correlations up to 0.67 were found between intraocular pressure and flicker sensitivity at several points in the visual field. There was no correlation between flicker sensitivity and age of the observers. Thus intraocular pressure may affect neuronal function in the normal eye.
