Background: Intraocular pressure is affected by laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. Besides this it is also affected by anaesthetic drugs directly or indirectly. Objectives: To compare the intraocular pressure changes following induction with sevoflurane and thiopentone in pediatric patients. Methodology: Seventy pediatric patients aged between 2 to 8 years with ASA grades 1 and 2 were chosen at random and splited into two groups of 35 each. Patients in group 1 i.e. group S were induced with inhalational induction agent sevoflurane and patients in group 2 i.e. group T were induced with intravenous induction agent thiopentone. After that intraocular pressure was measured using Schiotz tonometer after loss of eye reflex, 1 minute after PLMA placement and 3 minutes after PLMA placement
