Abstract

People with hypertension (high blood pressure) are at an increased risk of suffering from glaucoma, a condition in which the pressure within the eye increases. Its noted that several antihypertensive are found to be useful in lowering the intraocular pressure, this review throws some light on the use of these antihypertensives as antiglaucoma drugs and about their probable mechanisms.
