About Ophthalmic Parasympathetic Agents.

Ophthalmic parasympathetic agents—more commonly referred to in biomedical literature as ophthalmic parasympathomimetics or ocular cholinergic agonists—are a functional class of medications applied topically or intracameral to stimulate muscarinic receptors within the anterior segment of the eye.

They act primarily by contracting the iris sphincter muscle to induce miosis and stimulating the ciliary muscle, which mechanically widens the trabecular meshwork to increase aqueous humor outflow.

Clinically, these agents are utilized to reduce intraocular pressure in open-angle and acute angle-closure glaucoma, induce pupillary constriction during ophthalmic surgical procedures, and temporarily enhance near vision in presbyopia.
