ABSTRACT
The purpose of the study is to minimize the incidence of glaucoma and ocular hypertension caused by using corticosteroids during induction chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children. We have periodically observed the intraocular pressure and the variation of C / D ratio of two 7 years old boys with chemotherapy in our pediatric department. We observed the increase in intraocular pressure using applanation tonometer, and we managed by beta- blockers, carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and etc. Increased intraocular pressure has been normalized after chemotherapy. The frequency of occurrence of the ocular hypertension and glaucoma can be controlled with the quantity of corticosteroids used.
