Abstract
A composition for the inhibition of the abnormal postnatal axial growth of the eye of a maturing animal which comprises a pharmaceutically effective amount of a muscarinic pharmacological antagonist relatively selective for blocking the cholinergic receptors in cells of the brain, neural tissue and/or neural ganglia but less selective for blocking the cholinergic receptors of the cells of smooth muscles at the front of the eye, said antagonist present in a carrier or diluent suitable for ocular administration. A suitable antagonist is pirenzepine. Other suitable antagonists are telenzepine and o-methoxy-sila-hexocyclium.
