The authors describe findings concerning the administration of pilocarpine in the treatment of glaucoma. From experiments in vivo on eyes of cattle ensues that pilocarpine not only affects tissue structures of the anterior segment of the eyes with a subsequent decline of intraocular pressure, it penetrates also and acts in tissue structures of the posterior segment of the eye. After interaction with glutamic acid it contributes to the preservation of ganglion cells of the central portion of the retina and thus has an inhibitory effect on the development of morphological and functional changes in glaucoma.LA: Czech
