COMPOSITION FOR IRRIGATING INTRAOCULAR TISSUES AND MAINTAINING MYDRIASIS DURING INTRAOCULAR SURGERY

摘要

An improved pharmaceutical composition useful in ophthalmic surgery is described. The composition includes a mydriatic agent, such as epinephrine in an acidic solution. The acidic solution preferably also contains glutathione. The composition is preferably formulated as a two-part solution, with the mydriatic agent being included in a relatively small volume, acid solution, and one or more electrolytes being included in a neutral, buffered solution having a relatively large volume.
