| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> This study was carried out to determine the relationship between
intraocular pressure and the examination of the anterior and
posterior segment of the eye in the rapid diagnosis and treatment of
acute eye diseases.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> The study materials of different age, race,
sex and eye diseases without distinction as only the right eyes of 50
clinically healthy dogs were assessed at Selcuk University Veterinary
Faculty, Department of Veterinary Surgery. Distribution of the dogs
were Golden (4), Boxer (1), Cocker (1), and Terrier (3), 41 were Kangal
hybrids, with a mean age of 3 ± 1 year and a weight average of 28
± 1 kg. All eye examinations were performed within a certain order.
Schirmer test kit was used to measure the quantitative amount of tear
secretion. Tonovet was used for intraocular pressure measurement,
direct ophthalmoscopic examination and ultrasonographic examinations
were also performed.<p>
<b>Results:</b> In the correlation analysis show that moderate severity correlation
was determined between intraocular pressure and anterior
segment depth (medium correlation between 0.4-0.6, r: 0.551) in intra
ocular pressure increased (n: 6) group. High correlation was also found
between intraocular pressure and anterior segment width (high
correlation between 0,6-0,8, r: 0,609). In the present study, it was seen
that there was a statistically positive change in the measurements of
the anterior and posterior segments in intra ocular pressure. Ultrasound-
guided examinations have led to the conclusion that glaucoma
can be diagnosed precisely.<p>
<b>Conclusions:</b> Eventhough, there is a relationship between intraocular
pressure and ultrasonographic changes in the anterior segment, it is
suggested to increase the number of cases and to make changes more
accurate.. |
