✦ Synopsis

Autonomic nerve function in the an!erior segment of the eye was assessed by measurement of the pupil cycle time in i89 patients with ocular hypertension and 70 age-and sex-matched control subjects. Parasympathetic dystiznction was significantly present in ocular hypertensive patients with uarrow irido-corneal angles, though not in wide-angle subjects. The results are discussed, with particular reference to the accumulating evidence implicating autonomic dysfunction as a significant factor in the pathogenesis of the primary glaucomas.
