Contraception (birth control) is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant or giving birth. Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

The effects of oral contraceptives on intraocular pressure were studied in 100 women aged 18-35 years who had

been treated with oral contraceptives for 3-48 months and in 50 pregnant women. Intraocular pressure in the treated

women averaged 15.2 mm Hg during treatment and 15.8 mm Hg in intervals (maximum single difference, 6.4 mm Hg).

In the 7-9th month of pregnancy, intraocular pressure averaged 15.0 mm Hg, and 1-2 weeks postpartum, 16.8 mm Hg

(maximum single difference, 13.2 mm Hg). Dark adaptation and visual fields were studied in 30 women 20-30 years

old during treatment and during intervals; no changes in these functions were observed.(AUTHOR'S, MODIFIED)
