Aim: In this prospective, randomised, clinical study; we aimed to compare the effects of endotracheal intubation (ETI) via direct laryngoscope (DLS) and fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) on intraocular pressure (IOP) and haemodynamic data of non-ophthalmic patients. Methods: Fifty four adult patients undergoing non-opthalmic surgeries performed in the supin position under general anesthesia requiring orotracheal intubation were included into the study. The patients were randomly and prospectively divided into 2 groups; Group DLS (n=27) and Group FOB (n=27). Mean arterial pressure (MAP), Heart rate (HR), IOP were measured at before induction (basal), post-induction and 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th minutes of intubation. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in distirubiton of patient characteristics. Duration of intubation was significantly longer in Group FOB (p Key words: direct laryngoscope, fiberoptic bronchoscope, intraocular pressure, hemodynamics
