Fluorophotometric studies in animals and humans suggest that brimonidine tartrate has a dual mechanism of action by reducing aqueous humor production and increasing uveoscleral outflow.
These types of eye drops help reduce eye pressure by increasing the outflow of fluid through the uveoscleral pathway. Medical professionals also know it as the unconventional outflow pathway.
Latanoprost acid primarily works within the uveoscleral pathway to increase aqueous humour outflow. Meanwhile utanediol mononitrate releases NO to increase outflow through the trabecular meshwork ...
It drains out of the eye via two routes, the trabecular outflow pathway and the uveoscleral outflow pathway. The trabecular outflow pathway, also called the 'conventional outflow pathway' is ...
A rise in IOP will be compensated by an increased rate of aqueous humor drainage through the trabecular meshwork and uveoscleral routes. [18] The bulk of aqueous humor drainage occurs through the ...
