Ophthalmologica 153: 29-36 (1967) From the University Eye Clinic, Lund, Sweden By H. G. Bynke an d B. Sc h e l e In tr o d u c tio n Synchronously with the arterial pulse small variations of the intraocular pressure occur, which may be observed at clinical tonometry or recorded graphically by certain instruments. The hypothesis that the ocular pressure pulse is produced by rhythmic filling of the intraocular vessels is widely accepted. This hypothesis seems to be based mainly on results of old investiga tions. For example, in a study of animals by a small Marey’s mano meter XVesselij (1908) found that the intraocular pressure and the amplitude of its pulse wave decreased on faradic stimulation of the cervical sympathetic. As the carotid blood pressure was about constant, he attributed the ocular effects to intraocular vascular changes. Thiel (1928), who studied the pulse wave of the intact human eye by reflecting light from a double mirror system resting on the cornea, found that the pulse wave was not decreased in an eye with occlusion of the central retinal artery. These results have later been confirmed by Uijama and Nakai (1961). Thiel presumed the corneal pulse wave
