Método Benozzi® (colirio de pilocarpina) para el tratamiento de la presbicia. [The Benozzi® method (pilocarpine eye drops) for the treatment of presbyopia] Buenos Aires: Institute for Clinical Effectiveness and Health Policy (IECS). Informe de Respuesta Rápida N° 270. 2012 Authors' objectives To assess the evidence available on the efficacy, safety, and other issues related to the coverage policies of the Benozzi® Method (pilocarpine ophthalmological drops) for the treatment of presbyopia. Authors' conclusions There is little and poor quality evidence (few patients and no significant measurement outcomes for patient´s sight) on pilocarpine hydrochloride eye administration in patients with presbyopia. The adverse effects and potential effectiveness that topical long-term administration of pilocarpine eye drops and NSAIDs (no steroidal analgesics) might have with the Benozzi® Method are unknown since there is no supportive scientific evidence. Currently, there are no publications that endorse the use of this method.
