Abstract
This paper presents a clinical assessment of the Ocusert pilocarpine therapeutic system in 22 patients. Severe patients were 'wearing failures' and one was a 'therapeutic failure'. In the remaining patients intraocular pressure were controlled satisfactorily by a small daily dose of pilocarpine and there was relief from the burden of regular drop administration and the transient myopia which follows each instillation. This study confirms a place for the 'Ocusert' system in the management of some patients with chronic glaucoma.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
