Sample Drugs for Glaucoma MCQs with answers
Sample MCQ #1
A 70-year-old man with chronic myopia comes to the ophthalmologist for regular check-up. Examination shows bilateral narrowing of peripheral visual fields, cupping of the optic discs, and elevated intraocular pressure. Gonioscopy shows no abnormalities. Which of the following first line of treatment for this patient ?
ATimolol
BAcetazolamide
CApraclonidine
DLatanoprost
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: D. Latanoprost
The loss of peripheral vision, optic disc cupping, and elevated intraocular pressure in this patient with a normal gonioscopy are diagnostic of open-angle glaucoma. Preferred first-line therapy are topical prostaglandin analogs like Latanoprost. Alternative options are Topical beta blockers alone and/or alpha-2 agonists OR Topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. For treatment of Refractory glaucoma, oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are used. Reference: Basic & Clinical Pharmacology, Fourteenth Edition By Bertram G. Katzung, Pg no. 159.
Sample MCQ #2
Topical application of 400 mcg/ml mitomycin C is used for
ASubglottic stenosis
BTympanoplasty
CRhinocerebral Mucormycosis
DNasopharyngeal bleeding
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: A. Subglottic stenosis
Mitomycin is an anti-tumor antibiotic with alkylating agent like property. It is used in superficial cancer of urinary bladder and for squamous cell carcinoma of anus . The drug has radiomimetic effects, and also sensitizes hypoxic tumor cells to the effects of hypoxia. Application of topical mitomycin C after endoscopic dilation of laryngotracheal stenosis reduces the rate of restenosis.
