Abstract:

The urinary excretion of methanol in 26 subjects without optic nerve head disease ranged from 0.5 to 4.4 mg/day. In 8 patients with primary open-angle or angle-closure glaucoma, the urinary excretion of methanol ranged from 1.4 to 3.9 mg/day. Of 13 patients with normal-tension glaucoma, 3 with increased serum methanol had elevated levels of urinary excretion of methanol.
