Intraocular pressure decreased by 22.6% in association with neuromuscular blockade produced by vecuronium 0.1 mg kg–1. This appeared to be the result of an indirect action possibly via an effect on CVP. Vecuronium would be a suitable neuromuscular blocker for patients undergoing eye surgery in whom an increasse in IOP would be undesirable.

*Preliminary results swere presented at the "5th International Symposion of Anaesthesiology, Resusciation anmd Critical Care related Problems" at ZU, Austria, march 1984.
