A member asked:
Wanted to know if acetyl cholinesterase inhibitors can cause constriction of the eye pupil?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: cholinesterase inhibitors for topical use in glaucoma treatment enhance the effect of endogenously liberated acetylcholine in iris, ciliary muscle, and other parasympathetically innervated structures of the eye. It thereby causes miosis, increase in facility of outflow of aqueous humor, fall in intraocular pressure, and potentiation of accommodation.
