Abstract
Overactive bladder (OAB) and glaucoma are prevalent and frequently co-exist, particularly in the elderly. Anti-cholinergic drugs are the cornerstone of medical management of OAB. There is a great deal of confusion about the safety of use of the anti-cholinergic medication regarding the risk of glaucoma. This review examines the pharmacological relationship of anti-cholinergic medications used to treat OAB and the various types of glaucoma.Entities:
