The ocular hypotensive effect of pregnancy
National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2017Background: Blindness ranked third (after cancer and heart disease) as peoples major fear. Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the world, according to the World Health Organization. Everyone is at risk for glaucoma from babies to senior citizens. Glaucoma is not curable, and vision lost cannot be regained.

Ocular hypotensive effect of sublingual administration of timolol
International Ophthalmology, 1997A randomized clinical, trial to assess ocular hypotensive effect of sublingual administration of timolol was performed.Seventeen (9 male, 8 female; age range 45 to 68 years) with bilateral ocular hypertension were selected for the study. Each patient was evaluated with regard to IOP, arterial blood pressure and heart rate before and after each of the ...

Prostaglandin derivates as ocular hypotensive agents
Progress in Retinal and Eye Research, 1998Low doses of naturally occurring prostaglandins reduce the intraocular pressure (IOP) in many species. Species differences do occur both in terms of efficiency and mechanism of action, and also among the different prostaglandins. Among the prostaglandins mainly PGF2 alpha has been tested in human eyes.

Oral Urea as an Osmotic Ocular Hypotensive Agent
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1959The use of osmotic agents in the treatment of all types of glaucoma has recently received impetus from the introduction of urea into clinical ophthalmology. 1 The theoretical superiority of this drug as compared to previously used osmotic solutions has been well substantiated.

EFFECT OF VEHICLE ON PILOCARPINE‐INDUCED OCULAR HYPOTENSION
Acta Ophthalmologica, 1978The effect of 1.4% polyvinyl alcohol and castor oil vehicles on pilocarpine‐induced hypotension was studied in 50 patients with open‐angle glaucoma. Diurnal tension curves showed that the mean intraocular pressure was lower and the maximum diurnal variation smaller during the treatment with oily drops of 2% and 4% pilocarpine instilled 2–3 times daily ...

Urea as an Osmotic Ocular Hypotensive Agent in Glaucoma
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1959The ophthalmologist has available three distinct medical methods to reduce intraocular pressure: improvement of the facility of aqueous outflow; reduction of aqueous inflow, and reduction of ocular volume through the use of osmotic (hypertonic) agents. The first two methods are well known and are used extensively.

[Prostaglandins as ocular hypotensive drugs].
Nippon Ganka Gakkai zasshi, 1993Prostaglandins can lower intraocular pressure when they are applied topically to the eye. This pressure-lowering effect is mediated by enhancement of uveoscleral outflow. Human ciliary muscle has binding sites (receptors) for prostaglandins and the EP2 receptor subtype is the predominant prostanoid receptor found in this muscle.
