Carbonic Anhydrase: Pharmacology of Inhibitors and Treatment of Glaucoma

  • Chapter
Pharmacology of the Eye

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 69))

Abstract

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors have an established place in the treatment of glaucoma. This role is based on over three decades of research on the anatomy and physiology of aqueous humor secretion, as well as the pharmacology and distribution of the sulfonamide carbonic anhydrase inhibitors in the eye.
