Amplitude of accommodation and pupillary size were measured before and during therapy with nortriptyline in 41 depressed in-patients. Pupillary size showed no change after two weeks therapy. There was a small decrease in amplitude of accommodation during therapy in the younger age group (<45 years) while accommodation remained unchanged in the older age group. Subjective complaints of blurred vision were not significantly correlated to objective changes in accommodation. There was a positive correlation between decrease in amplitude of accommodation and plasma concentration of nortriptyline.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
