| Abstract: | We have measured intra-ocular pressure (i.o.p.) in 20 patientsanaesthetized with halothane or enflurane (0.6 MAC in oxygen)for repair of trauma to the eye. The changes in i.o.p. withhalothane 0.5% were unpredictable, whereas enflurane 1% reducedintra-ocular tension consistently in all the patients studied.Enflurane is recommended as a possible alternative anaestheticfor surgery on the open eye. |
