ciprofloxacin and Glaucoma

ciprofloxacin has been researched along with Glaucoma in 2 studies

Ciprofloxacin: A broad-spectrum antimicrobial carboxyfluoroquinoline.
ciprofloxacin : A quinolone that is quinolin-4(1H)-one bearing cyclopropyl, carboxylic acid, fluoro and piperazin-1-yl substituents at positions 1, 3, 6 and 7, respectively.

Glaucoma: An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which the eye cannot withstand without damage to its structure or impairment of its function. The consequences of the increased pressure may be manifested in a variety of symptoms, depending upon type and severity, such as excavation of the optic disk, hardness of the eyeball, corneal anesthesia, reduced visual acuity, seeing of colored halos around lights, disturbed dark adaptation, visual field defects, and headaches.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The intraocular pressure, which was 68 mmHg at the beginning was lowered with intravenous and per oral acetatcolamide together with timolol and pilocarpine eyedrops, and because of a narrow anterior chamber, with subsequent laser iridotomies."3.69Acute glaucoma and acute corneal oedema in association with tularemia. ( Pärssinen, O; Rummukainen, M, 1997)
"We determined whether Besivance (Bausch & Lomb), AzaSite (Inspire Pharmaceuticals, Inc; both with DuraSite bioadhesive [InSite Vision, Inc]) and ciprofloxacin are toxic inside the anterior chamber."1.36An anterior chamber toxicity study evaluating Besivance, AzaSite, and Ciprofloxacin.
