The effect of some anesthetic drugs on intraocular pressure (IOP) was studied in 120 normal healthy patients undergoing non-ophthalmic surgical procedures. IOP rose significantly following the injection of succinylcholine (SCh) alone, or when such injection had been preceded by a pretreatment with a "self-taming" dose of SCh or d-tubocurarine (d-Tc). Though the rise in IOP after diazepam pretreatment was significant, the magnitude was lower than that observed in the groups pretreated with the other two agents. Halothane brought the IOP down faster and lower than ether. SCh is unsafe for intubation for the administration of general anesthesia in cases involving penetrating ocular injuries. It can, however, be used safely for routine ophthalmic surgery, providing that 8 minutes are allowed to elapse between injection and corneal or scleral incision. Halothane is preferred to ether, since the former lowers IOP faster and in a greater amount than the latter.
