What is the purpose of anti-glaucoma drugs?

Relieve depression
Decrease stomach acid
Treat inflammation
Decrease fluid pressure in the eye

The correct answer is: Decrease fluid pressure in the eye

Anti-glaucoma drugs are specifically prescribed to decrease fluid pressure in the eye. Glaucoma is a condition characterized by increased pressure within the eye, which can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss. By decreasing the fluid pressure in the eye, these medications help prevent further damage and maintain the health of the eye. This is why option D is the correct answer. Options A, B, and C are not correct because anti-glaucoma drugs do not target these conditions. They are specifically designed to address the unique needs of individuals with glaucoma by reducing the intraocular pressure to prevent vision loss.
