*Ophtho emergency
2 steps: first lower IOP (acetazolamide, BB, mannitol), then open the angle (cholinergics)
1. acetazolamide (decrease aqueous humor production and therefore decreases pressure)
2. Topical BB (timolol) reduces IOP pressure w.o affecting visual acuity
3. Miotics/cholinergics (pilocarpine, carbachol)
*Peripheral iridotomy definitive treatment*
**AVOID: anticholinergics, sympathomimetics

TX:

2. laser therapy

114
- acute sudden monoocular vision loss often preceded by amaurosis fugax
