Brief summary

Intraocular pressure (IOP) depends on the balance between humoral fluid production and drainage, and different pressures can be measured between the right and left eyes with stimuli causing sympathoadrenal stimulation such as laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation (about 5 min). It has been aimed to investigate how does spinal anesthesia change the intraoculary pressure.

Interventions

intraocular pressure will be measured with applanation tonometer. All cases will be evaluated before surgery(first intraoculary pressure measurement), then the second measurement will be done 5 minutes after spinal anesthesia was applied.
