Action of Epinephrine on the Normal Human Eye

Change in Intraocular Pressure in the Fellow Eye After Glaucoma Surgery in 1 Eye

“…Postulated mechanisms suggest involvement of neuronal, hormonal, and cytokine regulation of aqueous flow dynamics, but the exact mechanism is yet to be elucidated. 2,3 A consensual response to antiglaucoma therapy has been shown in normal and glaucomatous subjects, [4][5][6][7][8][9] following uniocular tomography 10 and a small decrease has also been reported in the untreated fellow eye after laser trabeculoplasty. [11][12][13] Gibbens 14 reported that the consensual ophthalmotonic reaction appears to occur in man regardless of the drug used to lower IOP in the treated eye.…”

“…These effects are, however, much more pronounced after extirpation of the superior cervical ganglion with subsequent degeneration of the post-ganglionic fibers. Likewise the application of epinephrine to the conjunctiva 322 does not affect the pupil unless the superior cervical ganglion has been extirpated.…”
