About this document
Overview of Parasympathomimetics in Glaucoma by Cayetano is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Pilocarpine is a long-established treatment for glaucoma, acting on muscarinic receptors to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) through enhanced aqueous outflow. Despite its efficacy, it has ocular side effects and requires frequent dosing, making it less favored compared to newer treatments. Other parasympathomimetics like carbachol and echothiophate iodide are also used, but they come with their own side effects and limitations.
