Abstract
- Fundus pictures of normal adult eyes were taken with Zeiss fundus camera under the transiently raised I.O.P. by ophthalmodynamometer. Statistical analysis was as follows: 1) The number of small vessels crossing the optic disc margin was 9.1 +/- 0.28, and was not changed by transiently raised I.O.P. upto 100mmHg. 2) The diameter of the retinal arteriols at optic disc margin didn't show any statistically significant changes by the transiently raised I.O.P. upto 50mmHg.
