Ibopamine Eye Drops In Ophthalmology

Ibopamine Eye Drops In Ophthalmology

Ibopamine eyedrops are used in ophthalmology. This molecule is characterized by a dual mechanism of action, since it acts on both adrenergic and dopaminergic receptors. The adrenergic action is responsible for a marked mydriasis without accommodative paralysis, while the dopaminergic action promotes the production of aqueous humor. Given this dual action, ibopamine may be useful for diagnostic ...

Clinical Uses of Autologous Serum Eye Drops as Tears in Ophthalmology

A stable tear film is a prerequisite to maintain the ocular surface health. The ocular surface stability depends of neuroanatomical interaction of the compositional factors and hydrodynamics factor. [for reviews see ] Among compositional factors, healthy ocular surface epithelia with normal proliferation and differentiation are an important component. There are several proteinaceous and non-pro...

The effects of 2% ibopamine eye drops on the intraocular pressure and pupil motility of patients with open-angle glaucoma.

PURPOSE Ibopamine is a prodrug of N-methyldopamine that has a non-cycloplegic mydriatic action due to its alpha-adrenergic properties and is able to induce, when topically given, a transient increase of intraocular pressure (IOP) in eyes with hydrodynamic disorders. METHODS This is a randomized, crossover, open-labeled, two- center study. Forty patients (20 open-angle glaucoma patients and 20...
