Carbachol is one of the two parasympathomimetic agents currently used during cataract surgery when rapid and complete miosis is needed. Since intraocular pressure (IOP) is one variable modified by cataract surgery, we tried to determine how this variable is further influenced by intracameral administration of carbachol at the end of surgery. The present study concluded that carbachol has a lowering effect on IOP in the first 24 hours after cataract surgery, being responsible for less variations and a more rapid recovery of IOP.
