Horner syndrome (Horner’s syndrome or oculosympathetic paresis) results from an interruption of the sympathetic nerve supply to the eye and is characterized by the classic triad of miosis (ie, constricted pupil), partial ptosis, and loss of hemifacial sweating (ie, anhidrosis), as well as enophthalmos (sinking of the eyeball into the bony cavity that protects the eye). The term Horner syndrome is commonly used in
English-speaking countries, whereas the term Bernard-Horner syndrome is common in France.

23. Applanation tonometry is based on
A. Imbert-Fick principle✓
B. Goldman's equation
C. Perkins principle
D. Principle of indentation
The intraocular pressure (IOP) of the eye is determined by the balance between the
amount of aqueous humor - that the eye makes and the ease with which it leaves the eye.
The Goldmann equation states:
Po = (F/C) + Pv ; Po is the IOP in millimeters of mercury (mmHg), F is the rate of aqueous
formation, C is the facility of outflow, and Pv is the episcleral venous pressure
Applanation tonometry is based on the Imbert-Fick principle, which states that the
pressure inside an ideal dry, thin-walled sphere equals the force necessary to flatten its
surface divided by the area of flattening (P = F/A, where P = pressure, F = force and A =
area). In applanation tonometry, the cornea is flattened and the IOP is determined by
varying the applanating force or the area flattened

B. Raised intraocular pressure

Glaucoma is basically a type of progressive optic neuropathy with primary and
secondary forms. Raised IOP is just a sign. Glaucoma exist without raised IOP also(NTG).
Raised IOP without neuropathy signs is not glaucoma, it is Ocular hypertension.
