The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of transdermal scopolamine patches on intraocular pressure, pupil size, anterior chamber volume, and accommodation in patients with open-angle glaucoma. Forty patients with chronic open-angle glaucoma participated in a double-masked randomized,

A 58-year-old woman developed unilateral acute angle-closure glaucoma four days after the application of a patch of transdermal scopolamine delivery system (TRANSDERM-V).

The authors report five cases of mydriasis induced by the use of transdermal scopolamine delivery systems. Anisocoria and narrow angle glaucoma were involved in four cases; in one case, the use of a strong dosage resulted in a bilateral mydriasis in a child.

We reviewed the records of all inpatients of the UCLA Medical Center from 1955 to 1980 with the discharge diagnosis of "glaucoma." Nine cases of acute angle-closure glaucoma occurring after spinal or general anesthesia were identified among the 913 records reviewed. Of the nine cases, two were

Although a blockade of acetylcholine esterase has been reported to suppress neuronal cell death induced by exogenous glutamate and beta-amyloid, information is still limited regarding the neuroprotective effects of the acetylcholine esterase inhibitor donepezil. We histologically examined the
