Abstract

Purpose: To do a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the existing literature on the effectiveness and safety of pilocarpine 1.25% eye drops in presbyopia management.

Methods: Relevant articles were extracted from the online database using keywords - "pilocarpine and presbyopia", "AGN-190584 and presbyopia", and "Vuity and presbyopia". The primary outcome measure considered was an improvement in distance-corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA) and secondary outcome measures were improvement in distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity (DCIVA) and adverse events (AEs). Risk of bias (ROB) assessment was done using the ROB2 tool and R software was used for quantitative analysis.

Results: The 3 included randomized control trials (RCTs) had a total of 980 participants between 40-55 years of age. They were randomized into 2 groups - 489 in the pilocarpine group and 491 in the vehicle group. In the pilocarpine group, 1.25% of pilocarpine was used either once (in the Gemini 1 and 2 trials) or twice daily (Virgo trial). A significantly higher proportion of patients reported improvement of DCIVA and gain of ≥ 3 lines in binocular DCNVA in the pilocarpine group than the vehicle group (P < 0.01). Headache was the most commonly reported AE (13.49% of participants). Three case reports published on pilocarpine use for presbyopia management have reported vitreomacular traction in 1 and retinal detachment in 5 eyes.

Conclusions: The available evidence documents significant improvement in near and intermediate vision in presbyopia participants with pilocarpine 1.25% drop. However, more RCTs, involving a wider age group, larger refractive error, longer follow-up, and clinical testing in a real-world scenario are required to conclusively prove its role in presbyopia management.

外用1.25%匹罗卡品治疗老花眼疗效和安全性的系统评价和meta分析。
目的:对现有文献对1.25%匹罗卡品滴眼液治疗老花眼的有效性和安全性进行定性和定量评价。方法:使用关键词“匹罗卡品与老花眼”、“AGN-190584与老花眼”、“Vuity and presbyopia”从在线数据库中提取相关文章。考虑的主要结局指标是距离矫正近视力(DCNVA)的改善,次要结局指标是距离矫正中视力(DCIVA)和不良事件(ae)的改善。采用ROB2工具进行偏倚风险(Risk of bias, ROB)评估,采用R软件进行定量分析。结果:纳入的3项随机对照试验(RCTs)共有980名参与者,年龄在40-55岁之间。随机分为两组,匹罗卡品组489例,载药组491例。在匹罗卡品组中,1.25%的匹罗卡品每天使用一次(双子座1号和2号试验)或两次(处女座试验)。匹罗卡平组DCIVA改善及双眼DCNVA≥3条线增加的比例显著高于载药组(P < 0.01)。头痛是最常见的AE(13.49%的参与者)。匹罗卡平用于老花眼治疗的三例报告报告了1例玻璃体黄斑牵拉和5例视网膜脱离。结论:现有证据表明,匹罗卡品降低1.25%后,老花眼患者的近、中期视力有显著改善。然而,需要更多的随机对照试验,涉及更广泛的年龄组,更大的屈光不正,更长的随访时间,以及在真实场景中的临床试验来最终证明其在老花眼治疗中的作用。
