Primary objective of use of atropine in anterior uveitis
A i.e. Rest to the ciliary muscle In inflamatory glaucoma (glaucoma with uveitis) pilocarpine (miotic) & prostaglandin analogue e.g. latanoprost are contraindicated Q because - Pilocarpine 1/t development of posterior synechiae - Prostaglandin analogue enhance breakdown of aqueous barrier and exacerbate cystoid macular edema.
Rest to the ciliary muscle
Increase supply of antibody
Increase blood flow
Prevents posterior synechia formation
