Comparative ultrasonographic study of the effect of pilocarpine 2% and Ocusert P 20 on the eye components.
The ultrasonographic examination of pilocarpine 2%- and Ocusert P 20-treated eyes clearly demonstrated that the side effects, such as accommodative myopia and changes of the anterior chamber depth and of the lens thickness, were less pronounced in the Ocusert-treated group.
