title: Miotic drugs: a review of ocular, visual, and systemic complications.
abstract: Cholinergic drugs and anticholinesterases have caused ocular complications including cataracts, iris cysts, retinal detachment, iritis, increased intraocular tension, allergic and toxic reactions, and hypermia. The visual complications include accommodative spasm; myopia and reduced visual acuity; changes in vision sensitivity, dark adaptation, and visual fields; and discomfort. The systemic complications are those common to cholinergic drugs and anticholinesterases. This review is intended as a ready reference to the drugs that cause such effects and source material.
