Driving With Dr. David Richardson David Richarson, MD

The Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitor (CAI) class of glaucoma medications is one of the oldest and (when taken by mouth) one of the most effective at lowering intraocular pressure (IOP). These medications are also available in eye drop form on their own (dorzolamide, brinzolamide) as well as combined with other classes (such as the beta-blocker and alpha-agonist class).   

But how well do the topical CAIs work? Are there issues that patients with glaucoma should be concerned about? Dr. Richardson discusses this and more.
