Answer 1

Answer:

Recently introduced topical agents for glaucoma therapy include dorzolamide and brinzolamide, the first topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors; brimonidine and apraclonidine, more ocular-specific alpha agonists; and latanoprost, a prostaglandin analog, which is a new class of glaucoma medication

When glaucoma is diagnosed, whether in the presence of normal or elevated IOP, it is treated. In the United States, medications are typically first-line therapy. Elsewhere in the world, notably in Great Britain, initial treatment with surgery is becoming increasingly common.15 The agents currently used to treat glaucoma are designed to decrease IOP. These drugs limit aqueous humor production in the ciliary body and/or enhance aqueous outflow through the trabecular meshwork or uveoscleral pathways
