Parasympathetic miotics, also classified as ophthalmic parasympathomimetics or cholinergic miotics, are ophthalmic agents that stimulate the parasympathetic pathway of the eye.
They work as direct muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonists or cholinesterase inhibitors to contract the pupillary sphincter muscle—causing pupillary constriction—and the ciliary muscle, which mechanically tensions the trabecular meshwork to increase aqueous humor outflow.
Clinically, these agents are primarily indicated to reduce intraocular pressure in open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma, to induce surgical miosis, and to improve near visual acuity in presbyopia via an expanded depth of focus.
