Medications covered in this chapter included ocular anti-inflammatories, anti-infectives (antibacterials, antivirals, antifungals), anesthetics, lubricants, and drugs used to treat or manage glaucoma. The eye itself can have ocular pathology, such as infection.

glaucoma — group of diseases caused by obstruction or excess production of aqueous humor, resulting in loss of peripheral vision. astigmatism — when the cornea or lens is curved more steeply in one direction, causing light to focus on multiple points of the retina. aqueous humor — fluid typically produced in the posterior chamber of the eye, which nourishes the internal structures and maintains a homeostatic eye pressure. canaloplasty — eye surgery that uses a microcatheter to cannulate Schlemm’s canal in order to restore aqueous humor outflow to lower intraocular pressure.
