pilocarpine and Lens Diseases

pilocarpine has been researched along with Lens Diseases in 3 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.

Lens Diseases: Diseases involving the CRYSTALLINE LENS.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"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.
