d. Cholinesterase inhibitors - Answer✔✔-a. Alpha-adrenergic agonists




Alpha-adrenergic agonists cause mydriasis, which increases sensitivity to light. Beta-adrenergic blockers

cause miosis, which impairs vision in the dark. Cholinergic agonists and cholinesterase inhibitors may

b. Have the patient sit up after instilling the drops.


c. Prepare to administer an alpha-adrenergic agonist.


d. Wait 5 minutes between drops. - Answer✔✔-a. Apply pressure to the lacrimal ducts.




Bradycardia is a systemic side effect of timolol. Applying pressure to the lacrimal ducts prevents the

medication from being systemically absorbed and causing systemic side effects such as bradycardia.
