Limubus
Cycloplegia refers to the paralysis of which group of intraocular muscles?

Glaucoma drugs and mechanisms of action
- Dichlorphenamide
- Timolol
- Mannitol
- Pilocarpine

- Timolol: decreases aqueous production by blocking adrenergic stimulation
- Mannitol: increases plasma osmotic pressure and dehydrates the vitrous
- Pilocarpine: Enhances aqueous outflow by contracting the cilary body
