Abstract |
A symptomatic patient with Adie's syndrome is described as successfully managed with pilocarpine 0.125% applied topically to the involved eye three times daily. This is the first report of such a patient responding to direct parasympathomimetic therapy. Alternate approaches to the therapy of Adie's syndrome are mentioned. An approach to the management of Adie's syndrome is proposed.
