Abstract

ilocarpine is a cholinergic agent which is often used in glaucomatreatme t to reduce the elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). Such a disease if not properly treated tends to narrow the visual field leading to myopia and eventually to blindness. Poor penetration of topically ap-plied drugs into the anterior chamber of the eye is a well-known disad-
