The Effect of Brimonidine

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will evaluate whether pre-treating patients with Brimonidine 0.2% before and/or after dilating the pupils will help to control the changes in intraocular pressure often seen when using dilating drops. The study will also evaluate the effects of different sequences of administering dilating drops along with Brimonidine on pupil size and reactivity.

Clinical Trial Description

Intraocular pressure (IOP) can fluctuate due to various external factors such as exercise, medications, and eye movements. Although it is considered natural for IOP to fluctuate daily, prolonged increases in IOP can be harmful. Sustained elevated IOP has been linked to optic nerve damage and glaucoma. Mydriatic drops routinely given to dilate pupils in patients in need of an eye exam have been known to increase IOP. In practice, a combination of drugs are used to achieve pupil dilation needed for routine eye exams or in perioperative situations. The use of Tropicamide 1% and Phenylephrine 2.5% are known to be safe and effective options for dilating the pupils when used in conjunction with one another, but these drugs can increase IOP. Drugs such as Brimonidine, a selective alpha-2 agonist, are known to reduce IOP through several different methods. This study seeks to understand the effects of Brimonidine used along with Tropicamide and Phenylephrine to control IOP. ;
