Implications: The dose-related effects of sevoflurane on intraocular compliance did not produce significant intraocular pressure differences. Adding remifentanil to sevoflurane increased intraocular compliance. Sevoflurane or sevoflurane + remifentanil causes a decrease in intraocular pressure compared with the average of previously reported values in awake rabbits, and the magnitude of the decrease is similar to that previously reported in rabbits anesthetized with ethyl urethane, pentobarbital, or halothane alone or in combination with propofol, cocaine, or lidocaine.
