Epinephrine (α1 agonist)- MOA and ADE
decrease aqueous humor synthesis via vasoconstriction
Mydriasis **** do not use in closed- angle

decrease aqueous humor synthesis via inhibition of
carbonic anhydrase
carbonic anhydrase
Cholinomimetics (M3)- MOA, ADE
direct: pilocarpine, carbachol
indirect: physostigmine, echothiophate
Increased outflow of aqueous humor via contraction of ciliary muscle and opening of trabecular meshwork
Miosis (contraction of pupillary sphincter muscles) and cyclospasm (contraction of ciliary muscle)
***Use pilocarpine in emergencies—very effective at opening meshwork into canal of Schlemm
