Acetazolamide (Diamox)

Acetazolamide. a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. decreases intraocular pressure (IOP) by decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor. Atropine dilates the pupil and decreases outflow of aqueous humor. causing further increase in IOP. Lasix is a loop diuretic. and Urokinase is a thrombolytic agent; they arent used for the treatment of glaucoma.
