Abstract
A method for inducing prolonged pseudoaccommodation includes the instillation of an ophthalmic formulation into an eye for contracting the iris sphincter muscle, but not the ciliary muscle, in order to cause sphincter muscle contraction for a period of greater than about one hour per installation. The method further provides for the stabilization of an implanted intraocular lens immediately after surgery and for reducing glare following radial keratotomy.
