title: Pilocarpine-induced movement of the trabecular mesh.
abstract: From geometrical considerations of the trabecular meshwork, ciliary muscle contraction has been predicted to produce an inward movement of the mesh. Goniophotographs taken under carefully controlled conditions before and after topical administration of pilocarpine showed a change in angle between cornea and mesh that is consistent with the predicted change.
