Treatment Options

Miotics

Miotics are topical eye medications that cause the pupil to contract, which helps to open the eye's drainage system and allows the aqueous humor (the fluid that causes the increased pressure in the eye) to drain out of the eye. The incidence of side effects and multiple daily dosing may prohibit the use of miotics.

Drugs in the class

Pilocarpine Ophthalmic Solution (Isopto CarpinePilocarPilocarpine OphthalmicPilopine HS)
