The effect of the main active substances of antihypertensive eye drops on condition of the eyes of glaucoma patients

https://doi.org/10.34215/1609-1175-2020-3-5-10

Abstract

Today, glaucoma is considered to be the most common cause of irreversible blindness. The treatment of this disease is aimed at reducing intraocular tension in order to slow down the deterioration of visual functions and to maintain accept‑ able quality of life. Most ophthalmologists prefer local medicamentous therapy. Despite a significant expansion of the range of antihypertensive medicines, a significant increase in the hypotensive effect is not always achieved in each certain case, at the same time, at long-term (sometimes lifetime) treatment local and systemic adverse reactions arise and intensify. The findings of recent clinical trials presented in this overview demonstrate an adverse effect of active compounds, preservatives and ad‑ ditives of ophthalmic medicines not only on the eye surface but also on the structure of anterior and posterior eye segments. Taking into account possible side effects of each component of medicines used in glaucoma therapy, ophthalmologists will be able to reasonably approach the choice of optimal treatment regimens with the lowest risk for patients.
