| Abstract | The measuring of intraocular pressure (IOP) it is essential for the ophthalmic evaluation; the aim of this study was establish the values of the IOP diurnal curve of guinea pigs with different ages using the rebound tonometer (Tonovet®). The animals were divided according to the age in two groups, Group I (GI) constituted with 10 guinea pigs aged between 2 -3 moths, and Group II (GII), 4 animals with 2 -3 years of old. Previously the Schirmer tear test, fluorescein test, biomicroscopy with slit lamp, and direct optalmoscopy were performed on all animals. The men value of IOP was 12.0±0.34 mmHg. Statistical difference were found between ages (mean GI 11.64 ± 0.29 mmHg, and GII 12.83 ± 0.45mmHg), did not have statistical difference related with gender (P= 0.1858) or between eyes (P= 0.7454). In conclusion the guinea pigs had alteration of IOP true the day, the values of IOP are higher in the morning period, decrease true the day and at the night period haves an elevation again. |
