pilocarpine has been researched along with Keratoconus in 5 studies
Pilocarpine: A slowly hydrolyzed muscarinic agonist with no nicotinic effects. Pilocarpine is used as a miotic and in the treatment of glaucoma.
(+)-pilocarpine : The (+)-enantiomer of pilocarpine.
Keratoconus: A noninflammatory, usually bilateral protrusion of the cornea, the apex being displaced downward and nasally. It occurs most commonly in females at about puberty. The cause is unknown but hereditary factors may play a role. The -conus refers to the cone shape of the corneal protrusion. (From Dorland, 27th ed)

| "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) |
