TY - JOUR T1 - Is topical haloperidol a useful glaucoma treatment? JF - British Journal of Ophthalmology JO - Br J Ophthalmol SP - 448 LP - 450 DO - 10.1136/bjo.70.6.448 VL - 70 IS - 6 AU - M. J.

Andrews Y1 - 1986/06/01 UR - http://bjo.bmj.com/content/70/6/448.abstract N2 - A randomised, double blind, single dose study of topical haloperidol, a dopamine receptor blocking drug, was performed on 20 healthy volunteers. After its administration a modest reduction in intraocular pressure was recorded over the six-hour study period, but the difference was not significant at the p less than 0.05 level. Although dopamine blocking agents are effective in reducing intraocular pressure in experimental animals, topical haloperidol appears unlikely to be clinically useful in the treatment of glaucoma.
