Combined Action of Diamox and Potassium Bicarbonate in the Treatment of Chronic Glaucoma

“…Our patients were maintained on a comparatively low sodium intake and the administration of potassium bicarbonate therefore favoured the conservation of sodium. * It is interesting to compare this with the finding of Kinsey, Camacho, Cavanaugh, Constant, and McGinty (1955) that rabbits, which were resistant to the action of Diamox and showed no fall in intra-ocular pressure, were made responsive by giving them an increased amount of salt in their diet.…”

Glaucoma

“…-Good results with cyclodiathermy are reported in 80% to 100% of his cases by Maeder,104 in 50% by Bar¬ tolomé,165 and in 70% by Sokolic.166 Weekers16T recommends cyclodiathermy as the operation of choice in absolute glau¬ coma, aphakic glaucoma, and glaucoma sec¬ ondary to uveitis and as a secondary opera¬ tion.
