plz will somebody tell me once &for all that the d.o.c. of hypertensive uveitis is

lanatoprost OR dipivefrine???

I think its latanoprost. New approved drugs are Unoprostone, bimatoprost, and travoprost. They are examples of newly approved drug analogues similar to prostaglandins that may help in IOP reduction.

Latanoprost- Coadministration with eye drops containing the preservative thimerosal may reduce effects (administer at intervals of 5 min between applications); effect may be additive if used with miotic agents (eg, pilocarpine), which decrease uveoscleral outflow. Eye lash and iris color changes may occur; increased pigmentation of iris and eyelashes; increased growth (hypertrichosis) of eyelashes and adjacent hair; conjunctival hyperemia; may promote baseline intraocular inflammation.

well acc.to Parsons pg.250;
"Pilocarpine & Lanatoprost are contradicted as uveitis may be exacerbated."

latanoprost and pilocarpine are C/I in hypertensive uveitis.
agreed -it will flare up the inflammation.

but how does atropine act here??
it will cause mydriasis--more chance of post synechie formation--and more risk of increasing IOP.
can someone explain how atropine is suited here???
