Pirenoxine (abbreviated PRX, trade name Catalin) is a medication used in the possible treatment and prevention of cataracts.. A report in the Inorganic Chemistry journal showed that in liquid solutions, pirenoxine could cause decreased cloudiness of a crystallin solution produced to mimic the environment of the eye.
Ocular hypertension is treated with either medications (eye drops), surgery, or laser. Treatment, by lowering the intraocular pressure, may help decrease the risk of vision loss and damage to the eye from glaucoma. Treatment options include pressure-lowering 'antiglaucomatous' eye drops, surgery, and/or laser eye surgery. [4]
The OVD occupies the volume of the anterior chamber during surgery, maintains its volume and shape without requiring internal pressure, and does not flow out through open incisions when undisturbed. It allows the free passage of instruments, prevents low viscosity fluids from leaking out, and provides the surgeon with a clear view of the ...
It is used as a medication to reduce pressure inside the eye and treat dry mouth. [1] [5] As an eye drop it is used to manage angle closure glaucoma until surgery can be performed, ocular hypertension, primary open angle glaucoma, and to constrict the pupil after dilation.
Carbachol eyedrops are used to decrease the pressure in the eye for people with glaucoma. It is sometimes used to constrict the pupils during cataract surgery. Topical ocular administration is used to decrease intraocular pressure in people with primary open-angle glaucoma. Intraocular administration is used to produce miosis after lens ...
Ripasudil's mechanism of action affects intraocular pressure, or IOP, "by directly acting on the trabecular meshwork, thereby increasing conventional outflow through the Schlemm’s canal." [2] More simply, it is an "out-flow" drug that reduces IOP by stimulating the movement of aqueous humour from the ciliary body away from the eye. [3]
Nepafenac, sold under the brand name Nevanac among others, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), usually sold as a prescription eye drop 0.1% solution (Nevanac) or 0.3% solution (Ilevro). It is used to treat pain and inflammation associated with cataract surgery. [3] Nepafenac is a prodrug of amfenac, an inhibitor of COX-1 and COX-2 ...
Bimatoprost/timolol, sold under the brand name Ganfort, is a medication for the treatment of certain conditions involving high pressure in the eyes, specifically open angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. [1] [3] It is available as eye drops. [1] [3] It was approved for medical use in the European Union in May 2006. [3]
