Experimental: Pilocarpine Therapy The right eyes of 45 patients will be treated by Biocarpine® and Vuity® eye drops. They will be considered as the case group, |
Drug: Pilocarpine 1.25% Eye drop
One millimeter of pilocarpine eye drop (Bakhtarbiochemistry Company, Iran) contains pilocarpine hydrochloride 1.25% (12.5 mg) as an active ingredient, equivalent to 1.06% (10.6 mg) pilocarpine free-base. The medication preservative is 0.0075% benzalkonium chloride. Inactive ingredients in the ophthalmic are boric acid, sodium citrate dihydrate, sodium chloride, purified water. Another pilocarpine eye drop was Vuity® (1.25% pilocarpine; Allergan company) contains the active intergradients of pilocarpine hydrochloride 1.25% (12.5 mg/mL), equivalent to 1.06% (10.6 mg/mL) pilocarpine free-base and the preservative agents was 0.0075% benzalkonium chloride.

No Intervention: Without Pilocarpine Therapy The left eyes of the patients will be defined as the controls. |
Outcome Measures
