pilocarpine and Iris Diseases

pilocarpine has been researched along with Iris Diseases in 17 studies

Pilocarpine: A slowly hydrolyzed muscarinic agonist with no nicotinic effects. Pilocarpine is used as a miotic and in the treatment of glaucoma.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To report changes in angle configuration associated with dark, light, and pilocarpine administration in plateau iris syndrome."7.70Plateau iris syndrome: changes in angle opening associated with dark, light, and pilocarpine administration. ( Foster, FS; Pavlin, CJ, 1999)
"Posterior pupillary synechiae affect a proportion of eyes subjected to iridectomy with or without drainage operation because (1) aqueous humour bypasses the pupil; (2) traumatic iridocyclitis occurs; (3) there is immobility of the iris in the iridectomy sector; (4) in eyes with angle closure glaucoma closer apposition of the iris to the anterior lens capsule increases the tendency; (5) pilocarpine aggravates (4) both in angle closure glaucoma and open angle glaucoma and produces a small immobile pupil facilitating pupillary membrane formation (occlusio pupillae)."7.67Posterior synechiae after glaucoma operations: aggravation by shallow anterior chamber and pilocarpine. ( Clark, CV; Levy, AM; Phillips, CI, 1987)
"To report changes in angle configuration associated with dark, light, and pilocarpine administration in plateau iris syndrome."3.70Plateau iris syndrome: changes in angle opening associated with dark, light, and pilocarpine administration. ( Foster, FS; Pavlin, CJ, 1999)

( Clark, CV; Levy, AM; Phillips, CI, 1987)
"Regression of Urrets-Zavalia's syndrome was obtained in one case after treatment administered according to a strict sequence following keratoplasty for keratoconus: sympatholytic drops (guanethidine 5%-Ismelin) every 4 hours for 24 hours, followed the next day, when mydriasis had been slightly reduced, by parasympathomimetic drops (pilocarpine 2%)."3.66[Proposed treatment of the Urrets-Zavalia syndrome. A propos of one reversible case]. ( Comte, P; Lagoutte, F; Thienpont, P, 1983)
"One half of 20 patients (40 eyes) with ocular hypertension and occludable angles, some with peripheral anterior synechiae, were randomly assigned for treatment by Nd:YAG laser iridotomy."2.66Role of Nd:YAG peripheral iridectomy in the management of ocular hypertension with a narrow angle. ( Hitchings, RA; Pooinasawmy, D; Romano, JH, 1988)
"Intraocular pressure was 34 mm Hg in the right eye."1.32A case of angle closure glaucoma caused by plateau iris and adie's pupil. ( Kawana, K; Nose, H; Okamoto, F; Oshika, T, 2003)
"Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder characterized by skeletal, cardiovascular, and ocular anomalies."1.30Iridocorneal adhesions in patients with the Marfan syndrome. ( Arnold, PJ; Donohoe, MJ; Greenwald, MJ; Mets, MB, 1999)
"Angle closure glaucoma secondary to the cysts was present in 4 of the 11 cases."1.27The heredity and treatment of angle-closure glaucoma secondary to iris and ciliary body cysts. ( Campbell, DG; Rieser, JC; Vela, A, 1984)
