Ophthalmic Solutions majority of glaucoma treatments are in the form of eye drops
Prostaglandin Analogs listed medications in form of eye drops
Glaucoma abnormal intraocular pressure that pushes on the optic nerve and progressively damages it
Glaucoma abnormal pressure comes from overproduction of aqueous humors (fluid) and/or blockage of aqueous humors drain (trabecular meshwork)
Ophthalmic Glaucoma Agents reduces the production of the aqueous humors or enhancing humor drainage
Ophthalmic Glaucoma Agents constrict pupil slightly (contracting the ciliary muscle) which causes more aqueous humor outflow through anterior chamber (near the front of the eye but still inside it) (fluid goes further into whole eye)

Beta Blockers works by decreasing aqueous humor production
Prostaglandin Analogs works by increasing aqueous humor outflow
Alpha Receptor Agonists works by decreasing aqueous humor productions and increasing drainage
Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors works by decreasing production of aqueous humor/intraocular fluids
