BACKGROUND The method of so-called oculopression is used to reduce the intraocular tension before intraocular operations. For outpatient cataract operations we tested a gentle and, especially for the patient, pleasant alternative which combines an easy and safe treatment with good results for tension reduction. METHODS For a total of 100 patients a routine examination glove was filled with 350 ml of warm tap water and after injection placed for 10 min on the eye scheduled for surgery. RESULTS With this method, an excellent and self-calibrating reduction of the intraocular pressure could be shown (average intraocular pressure before injection: 18.94 mmHg, after injection: 31.34 mmHg and after soft oculopression: 20.31 mmHg). CONCLUSIONS The method of soft oculopression can be recommended because of its excellent self-calibrating tension reducing effect combined with a pleasant and easy application.
