N2 - There is increasing suspicion that topical ocular miotic therapy in selected persons may precipitate retinal detachments. This is a rare event and probably does not occur in patients free of retinal pathology. Data supporting a possible cause and effect relationship, obtained from the National Registry of Drug-Induced Ocular Side Effects, a survey of the Retina Society, medicolegal decisions, and a review of the literature, is presented.
