Treatment
1Balance and postural control
2Medications
• Prostaglandin analogs, latanoprost ,bimatoprost and travoprost .
• Topical beta-adrenergic receptor antagonists, such as timolol, levobunolol and betaxolol.
• Alpha2-adrenergic agonists, such as brimonidine and apraclonidine.
• Less-selective alpha agonists, such as epinephrine.
• Miotic agents (parasympathomimetics), such as pilocarpine.Echothiophate, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, is used in chronic glaucoma.
• Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, such as dorzolamide , brinzolamide ,and acetazolamide .
• Physostigmine
