[Changes in intraocular pressure during prostaglandin-induced abortion (author's transl)].
Experimental animal studies have shown that local or systemic application of prostaglandin produces an acute increase in intraocular pressure. Investigations were carried out in 17 women undergoing prostaglandin-induced abortions to determine whether any changes in IOP occurred. In 16 of the patients there was no evidence of any effect; in the other one there was a transient moderate pressure elevation.
