How Do Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors Lower IOP? - Optometry Knowledge Base

How Do Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors Lower IOP? In this informative video, we will discuss the role of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs) in managing intraocular pressure (IOP). Understanding how these medications function is essential for anyone interested in eye health, particularly in relation to conditions like glaucoma. We will break down the mechanism by which CAIs work to reduce the production of aqueous humor, the clear fluid in the eye, and how this impacts overall eye pressure.

We will also touch on the differences between topical and systemic carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, highlighting their effectiveness and potential side effects. Additionally, we will explore the benefits of improved blood flow to the eye that may accompany the use of these medications. By the end of the video, you will have a clearer picture of how carbonic anhydrase inhibitors play a vital role in treating high IOP and protecting optic nerve health.
