Abstract: Objective To observe the effect of enhanced extracorporeal counterpulsation (EECP) on intraocular pressure (IOP). Methods 25 patients were measured their IOP bilaterally with Schoitz tonometer before and after EECP. Results The IOP decreased in both left and right eyes after EECP (P<0.01). Conclusion EECP can reduce intraocular pressure.

Key words: enhanced extracorpored counterpulsation, intraocular pressure, complication
