Corticosteroid Induced Ocular Hypertension in Feline Model and Its Effects on White Blood Cell Count

Prolong topical or systemic administration of corticosteroid produces undesirable side effects like increase intraocular pressure, lens opacities, neutrophilia, eosinopenia. This study was aimed at finding out the relationship between ocular hypertension and differential white blood cell count using corticosteroid induced ocular hypertension in feline model. A total of 5 cats were used for this study. The five cats were grouped into two (control and experimental). The control consisted of one cat while the experimental group consisted of four cats.
