[Paradoxical effect of buphenine on intraocular pressure in aphakic eyes (author's transl)]

The effect of topical administration of Buphenine was studied in a group of aphakic patients (53 eyes). The action of the drug was paradoxical: it induced an increase, often remarkable, in intraocular pressure in more than 70% of the eyes thus treated. The cause of the elevated IOP is discussed.
