Mil Med. 2013 Jul;178(7):e862-e864 Authors: Molinari JF Abstract PURPOSE: To describe a case of steroid-induced ocular hypertension in which a clinical significant increase in intraocular pressure resulted with a corresponding corneal hysteresis decreased response. METHOD: A case report is presented in which a 62-year-old white male who was diagnosed with rosacea meibomitis and treated with topical antibiotic steroid combination ointment responded such. CONCLUSION: This case report illustrates a reverse model of the topical antiglaucoma medication studies recently described of decrease in intraocular pressure with an increase in corneal hysteresis with the application of topical prostaglandins and beta-blocker compounds. This may provide additional insight into how the biomechanical properties of the cornea and tunics of the eye respond to local applications of different ocular medications.PMID: 23820367 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23820367?dopt=Abstract = URL to article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
