Schuster AK, Erb C, Hoffmann EM, Dietlein T, Pfeiffer N. The Diagnosis and Treatment of Glaucoma. Dtsch Arztebl Int. 2020 Mar 27;117(13):225-234. doi: 10.3238/arztebl.2020.0225. PMID: 32343668; PMCID: PMC7196841.

There are several classes of eye pressure lowering drops available, including prostaglandin analogues, beta-blockers, alpha-adrenergic agonists, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, and rho kinase inhibitors. These drops can be used alone or in combination to achieve the desired effect.

Prostaglandin analogues are often the first-line treatment for glaucoma, as they are effective at reducing intraocular pressure and have few side effects. Beta-blockers are also commonly used and work by reducing the production of aqueous humor. Alpha-adrenergic agonists can both reduce production and increase outflow of aqueous humor, while carbonic anhydrase inhibitors work primarily by reducing production.
