Glaucoma Treatment

Question 1

flow of aqueous humor

Answer 1

ciliary body –> posterior chamber –> anterior chamber angle –> pupil –> anterior chamber –> trabecular meshwork –> canal of Schlemm –> uveoscleral veins

Question 2

reciprocal control of pupil

Answer 2

SANS: pupillary dilator muscle
PANS: pupillary constrictor

Question 3

ciliary muscle controls what?

Answer 3

accommodation

Question 4

ciliary muscle controlled mostly by para or sympa?

Answer 4

PANS: primary control of muscarinic receptors

Question 5

receptors on this part have permissive effect on aqueous humor secretion

Answer 5

ciliary epithelium

Question 6

BETA BLOCKER that decreases secretion of aqueous humor from ciliary epithelium

Answer 6

timolol

Question 7

OSMOTIC AGENT that decreases secretion of aqueous humor from ciliary epithelium

Answer 7

mannitol

Question 8

ALPHA 2 AGONIST that decreases secretion of aqueous humor from ciliary epithelium

Answer 8

apraclonidine

Question 9

CARBONIC ANHYDRASE INHIBITORS that decreases secretion of aqueous humor from ciliary epithelium

Answer 9

acetazolamide, dorzolamide

Question 10

CHOLINOMIMETICS that contract ciliary muscle, open trabecular meshwork, and increase outflow

Answer 10

pilocarpine, physostigmine

Question 11

PROSTAGLANDIN that increases outflow through canal of Schlemm

Answer 11

Latanoprost

Question 12

NON-SELECTIVE ALPHA AGONIST that increases outflow via uveoscleral veins

Answer 12

epinephrine
