To evaluate correlation between intraocular pressure (IOP) and intracranial pressure (ICP) 15 mature dogs were divided into three equal groups. Under general anesthesia, the IOP and ICP were determined. Group 1 received timolol, group 2 latanoprost and group 3 underwent trabeculotomy in a single eye. After 2 and 4 weeks, the IOP and ICP were measured again. Before any drug administrations or surgery, the correlation between primary IOP and primary ICP was not significant (P>0.05) but after 2 and 4 weeks, there was a considerable negative linear correlation between these two measures (r=—0.595; P=0.01) and (r=- 0.570; P=0.02), respectively. There was a negative linear correlation between IOP and ICP (r=-0.67; P=0.001) when the multiple regression formula was applied to make a model.
