Antiglaucoma agents are medications used to lower intraocular pressure in individuals with glaucoma, a condition that can lead to vision loss. These agents work by either reducing the production of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow from the eye. Common classes of antiglaucoma agents include prostaglandin analogs, beta-blockers, and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. These medications can be administered as eye drops or oral tablets, depending on the specific agent and patient needs. Regular monitoring by an eye care professional is essential to ensure effectiveness and adjust treatment as necessary. Proper adherence to prescribed therapy can help preserve vision and manage the condition effectively.
