[One year's experience with pilocarpin-ocusert in the therapy of glaucoma (author's transl)].

The authors report on their own treatment results with the drug carrier Ocusert (Federal Rep. of Germany: Chemie Grunenthal). Furthermore the effect on the IOP and the compatibility including the accomodative myopia is discussed. The effect on IOP was approximately equal to Pilocarpine 2% four times daily. The accommodation myopia was significanly less than using Pilocarpin drops. A short time after insertion the conjuntiva was irritated but the irritation faded within a short time.
