Abstract
ATP-sensitive K.sup.+ channel modulating compounds are incorporated into ophthalmically acceptable carriers for administration to the eye in order to affect intraocular pressure. Such formulations including compounds which inhibit the channel are particularly suitable for treating glaucoma and other disorders related to elevated intraocular pressure. Such formulation which potentiates the channel are particularly suitable for treating hypotonia and other depressed intraocular pressure conditions.
