What condition do antiglaucoma medications treat?

Antiglaucoma medications are specifically designed to treat glaucoma, which is a group of eye conditions that lead to damage to the optic nerve, often due to abnormally high pressure in the eye. These medications work by reducing intraocular pressure, either by decreasing the production of fluid in the eye or by increasing the outflow of this fluid. Effective management of glaucoma is crucial to prevent vision loss.

Other conditions listed, such as infections, hypertension, and depression, require different classes of medications and treatment approaches. Therefore, antiglaucoma medications have a singular focus on lowering intraocular pressure to manage glaucoma effectively.
