Abstract
1573 examinations were performed on 397 eyes. hh was found in 55 eyes ‐ thromboses included ‐ at 91 examinations. Part of this material qualified for use in a comparative study with pilocarpine in 81 eyes and timolol in 82 eyes. The relative frequency of hh in the treated groups and in the pretreatment group was not significantly different from that of the whole material. No indication of pressure reduction with effect on the occurrence of hh could be detected. The average probability of hh at an examination chosen at random was 6 per cent in this material of ordinary simple and capsular glaucoma cases. The occurrence of haemorrhages in relation to age, sex, general hypertension and diabetes are discussed.Keywords
